Yeah we don't support very deep editing like this.. especially for repos. Might be doable so I'll leave this open if I (or someone else 👀) ever get to it.....

Yeah we could perhaps do it for repos, I am not sure if it will work or not.. You can try, but the regex json modifications need to be heavily...

Yeah that's a problem :) What's the use case exactly?

Looks like the archive contains symlinks and 7z cannot unpack them because it's on windows? Indeed https://github.com/lox/xhprof/blob/master/bin/xhprofile is a symlink, I'm not sure why they took the complex way there...

Installing phpstan from source is a pretty awful outcome as it has so many phar files in the repo it is a gigantic git repo. There is no real solution...

Yeah shallow + git archive would be more equivalent to a dist install, but it'd mean a bunch more complexity in the GitDownloader for an edge case really as normally...

Right, AFAIK this isn't currently doable on windows, but if you find a way to fix this please let me know. I have nothing against it in theory but symfony/process...

Right we do support COMPOSER_AUTH for now that's your best option, you could still define it dynamically in your zshenv using other env vars as input I assume, so that...

I think the feature would be possible, but it would probably require a lock file to ensure we can split the dev from non-dev transitive dependencies. So it'd do something...
