The first public release of Phast, a fast dependency manager for PHP, written in Rust.

This is a beta. It installs real projects from Packagist today, but the manifest and lock formats may still change before 1.0.
Feedback and issues are very welcome.

Install

Linux and macOS:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phast-sh/phast/main/install.sh | sh

Then run phast install in any Composer project. Your composer.json works as is.

Prebuilt binaries are attached below for x86_64 and aarch64 on Linux (musl, statically linked) and macOS, each with a .sha256 checksum.

What's in it

  • Fast installs. Downloads and extraction run in parallel, so cold installs are quick
    and repeat installs are nearly instant.
  • Composer-compatible. Installs from Packagist, Private Packagist and Satis, reads your
    existing composer.json, and generates a vendor/autoload.php your application uses
    exactly as before, \Composer\InstalledVersions included.
  • TOML-first, if you want it. phast migrate converts composer.json into a readable
    phast.toml, and phast.lock keeps a stable order so diffs stay small.
  • Scripts. phast run runs named scripts, and Composer lifecycle events
    (pre-install-cmd, post-update-cmd, ...) fire automatically.
  • Errors that explain. A resolution conflict says which requirement conflicts with
    which, and which package pulled it in.
  • Workspaces. Monorepos with one lock file and one vendor/, no path-repository wiring.
  • Secure by default. Lock file checksums, a minimum-package-age guard, and
    phast audit against Packagist and OSV advisories.

Numbers

On koel, a real app with 202 packages. Median of 5 runs, same machine, scripts off, isolated caches:

cold install (no lock, no cache)   Phast  7.00s   Composer  67.32s
from a lock, empty cache (CI)      Phast  5.20s   Composer  17.17s
warm cache                         Phast  2.16s   Composer   7.41s
nothing to do                      Phast  0.53s   Composer   3.12s

The benchmark script and the raw runs are in testing/perf/.
