Installation

composer install forte-php

How It Works

There is nothing really magical happening under the hood. Forte PHP uses the power of GitHub API to connect to your private repository.

Setup

Create your my.forte.json file at the root of your project:

{
    "username":"YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME",
    "token":"YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
}

👉 IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO ADD my.forte.json TO YOUR .gitignore LIST

How to add your private repo

1. Your private repository must contain composer.json
2. Create your forte.composer.json, like so:

{
    "require": {
        "kenjiefx/jwt":{
            "branch":"0.1.0",
            "repository":"KenjieFx/JWT"
        }
    }
}

2. The kenjiefx/jwt field in the example above refers to name field in your repository's composer.json, like so:
