A way to version tools without commiting all composer.* files?

[theofidry]

So, I would like to suggest adding a way of versioning tools without the need to commit all

And how would this be achieved? The composer.{json|lock} are precisely to version it. If you feel it's too much clutter and don't want to look at them, what you can do however is version them as binary files, composer.lock binary in .gitattributes or something similar (you'll need to look it up).

As for your makefile issue, I would recommend the following:

# runs copy paste detection
phpcpd: bin/phpcpd
	bin/phpcpd ./src --min-lines=1 --min-tokens=35

# install sebastian/phpcpd
bin/phpcpd: vendor/bamarni/composer-bin-plugin
	composer bin phpcpd install sebastian/phpcpd
        touch $@

vendor/bamarni/composer-bin-plugin-plugin:
	composer install
	touch $@

touch $@ is the trick to ensure the target is properly updated as sometimes especially with symlinks the timestamp is not properly updated

The trick with .gitattributes is very cool!

I think it actually settles it for me 👍 . Thank you!

What do you think about mentioning .gitignore and .gitattributes in README tricks?

I can make pull-request.

Yes it’s a good idea!
