Composer Diff

Get insight into the composer.lock changes between branches.

Installation

Make sure your global composer directory is in your $PATH. It either is:

• ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin or
• ~/.composer/vendor/bin.

composer global require mooore/composer-diff

Usage

Synopsis

composer-diff <start_revision> [<end_revision>]

Revisions can be anything you can pass to git show, (i.e. a tag, branch or commit hash.)

start_revision: The revision from which the diff starts.

end_revision: (OPTIONAL) The revision to differentiate to. If you omit this option, the composer.lock of your current working directory will be used.
