Adds ability to link local packages in composer for development. 

This plugin won't alter your `composer.json` or `composer.lock` file, 

while maintaining the composer abilities to manage/upgrade your packages.

## Requirements

- PHP >= 8.0

- Composer >= 2.2

## Installation

This plugin can be installed globally or per project

Globally 

```

composer global require sandersander/composer-link

```

Per project: 

```

composer require --dev sandersander/composer-link

```

## Usage

The following three commands are made available by this plugin `link`, `unlink` and `linked`.

When the plugin is installed globally you can prefix the commands with `global` as example `composer global linked` 

and install global packages.

To link a package you can use the `link` commands, you can also link a global package.

When linked to a global package absolute paths are used, when using a relative path composer-link resolves

it to the absolute path.

```

composer link ../path/to/package

composer global link ../path/to/package

```

It's also possible to use a wildcard in your path, note that this will install all packages found in the directory `../packages`

If you don't want to link all the packages but only the ones originally installed you can pass the `--only-installed` flag.

```

composer link ../packages/*

composer link ../packages/* --only-installed

```

To unlink the package you can use the `unlink` command

```

composer unlink ../path/to/package

composer unlink ../packages/*

composer global unlink ../path/to/package

```

To see all linked packages in your project you can use the `linked` command

```

composer linked

composer global linked

```
