Why?

See what packages have been changed after you run composer update by comparing composer.lock to the git show HEAD:composer.lock.

Installation

composer require        jbzoo/composer-diff # For specific project
composer global require jbzoo/composer-diff # As global tool
# OR use phar file.
wget https://github.com/JBZoo/Composer-Diff/releases/latest/download/composer-diff.phar

Usage

composer update
# if it's installed via composer
php ./vendor/bin/composer-diff
# OR (if installed globally)
composer-diff
# OR (if you downloaded phar file)
php composer-diff.phar

Help Description

./vendor/bin/composer-diff --help
Description:
  Show difference between two versions of composer.lock files
Usage:
  diff [options]
Options:
      --source=SOURCE            The file, git ref, or git ref with filename to compare FROM [default: "HEAD:composer.lock"]
      --target=TARGET            The file, git ref, or git ref with filename to compare TO [default: "./composer.lock"]
      --env=ENV                  Show only selected environment. Available options: both, require, require-dev [default: "both"]
      --output=OUTPUT            Output format. Available options: console, markdown, json [default: "console"]
      --no-links                 Hide all links in tables
      --strict                   Return exit code if you have any difference
      --no-progress              Disable progress bar animation for logs. It will be used only for text output format.
      --mute-errors              Mute any sort of errors. So exit code will be always "0" (if it's possible).
                                 It has major priority then --non-zero-on-error. It's on your own risk!
      --stdout-only              For any errors messages application will use StdOut instead of StdErr. It's on your own risk!
      --non-zero-on-error        None-zero exit code on any StdErr message.
      --timestamp                Show timestamp at the beginning of each message.It will be used only for text output format.
      --profile                  Display timing and memory usage information.
      --output-mode=OUTPUT-MODE  Output format. Available options:
                                 text - Default text output format, userfriendly and easy to read.
                                 cron - Shortcut for crontab. It's basically focused on human-readable logs output.
                                 It's combination of --timestamp --profile --stdout-only --no-progress -vv.
                                 logstash - Logstash output format, for integration with ELK stack.
                                  [default: "text"]
      --cron                     Alias for --output-mode=cron. Deprecated!
  -h, --help                     Display help for the given command. When no command is given display help for the diff command
  -q, --quiet                    Do not output any message
  -V, --version                  Display this application version
      --ansi|--no-ansi           Force (or disable --no-ansi) ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction           Do not ask any interactive question
