Package: PHP Libraries.IO

Many developers host projects on sites like GitHub that provide accessible Git repository hosting to let developers share their projects on the Internet using Git to keep track of changes in repository files.

While GitHub provides an excellent repository hosting service, it is always possible to provide additional services on top of GitHub.

Libraries.io is a project that can provide a different view of the organization of projects hosted in GitHub and add more services like monitoring project dependencies and contributors.

This package provides a PHP API to query different aspects of projects listed in Libraries.IO.
