If you're like me, you build apps that depend on a lot of great PHP libraries that are maintained by countless talented developers. That's amazing! The PHP community has come so far! And while I try my best to contribute back, it's tough to show appreciation for all these efforts.

Sometimes, I just want to send some 💖 and shout THANKS!

Say hello to Thanks: a Composer plugin to give thanks to your PHP dependencies in the form of a GitHub ⭐:

This will star every PHP package you depend on as well as Composer and PHP. It was inspired by cargo-thanks.

Thanks is a tool for the entire PHP community: we hope everyone will use it to thank whatever libraries they use. For the largest projects, Thanks already sends stars to their main repository.

So if you love the libraries you depend on, share some thanks :)
