About:
Composercat provides a visual interface for managing PHP project dependencies via Composer. It simplifies package installation, updates, and version management without needing to memorize CLI commands. The tool is particularly useful for developers who prefer a GUI over the terminal for complex dependency graphs.

Key Features:

Visual dependency graph management
GUI for Composer commands (install, update, require)
Search and filter Packagist packages
Laravel project support

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies for PHP projects without using the command line
Visualizing and resolving package version conflicts

Alternatives:

Terminal + Composer – The standard CLI tool offers more power and scriptability but lacks visual feedback.
PHPStorm Composer Plugin – Integrated into the IDE, offering convenience for those already using PHPStorm.
