Installation

$ composer require dantleech/what-changed --dev

Usage

The report is automatically generated and dumped to the console each time you update your dependencies.

You can also (re) generate the report at any time by calling the composer what-changed command:

$ composer what-changed

This as the plugin makes a copy of your old composer lock file, you can review the last reported changes at any time with the what-changed command:

$ composer what-changed

Options

• --full-message: Show the full commit message
• --merge-commits: Include merge commits

Troubleshooting

• Github API limit reached: Configure the composer github-oauth to authenticate with Github.
