Run remote task

[joelwurtz]

Some task may be provided by external providers or author that need to be run only once, some of them comes to my mind :

• Running a rector recipe
• Creating a project from an existing repository / template

There is a tool that does that in js : npx

I think we could provide similar behavior with castor with a specific command something like :

castor execute vendor/package-exec

Basically castor would install this composer repository inside a temp folder and run the first bin file declared

We could specify a version :

castor execute vendor/[email protected]

If there is different binaries we can imagine allow the following

castor execute --bin specific-binary vendor/package-exec 

All arguments passed after the package could be transferred to the bin so someone can do

castor execute vendor/package-exec --package-exec-arg value
