• Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs to install to run. Composer is not a package manager. It deals with "packages" or libraries, but it manages them on a per-project basis, installing them in a directory (e.g. vendor) inside your project. By default it will never install anything globally. Thus, it is a dependency manager. Strongly inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler.
  • Packagist is a Composer package repository. It lets you find packages and lets Composer know where to get the code from. You can use Composer to manage your project or libraries' dependencies - read more about it on the Composer website.
