Packagist

Packagist is a central repository for PHP software packages, acting like an app store for developers. It hosts and organizes reusable code libraries that developers can easily find and incorporate into their projects. This streamlines development by allowing quick access to tested and trusted code components, promoting code sharing and collaboration within the PHP community. Developers use tools like Composer to automatically download and update these packages from Packagist, ensuring their projects stay current and secure without reinventing the wheel.
