## What it is
A Composer plugin that stars the GitHub repositories of your PHP project's dependencies as a way to thank open-source maintainers. Run `composer thanks` and it resolves your Composer dependencies to their github.com repos and stars them.

## Use cases
- thank open-source maintainers by starring their repos
- star all GitHub dependencies of a Composer project
- give back to the PHP open-source community
- forward stars from one package to another via composer.json

## When to choose
- you use Composer and want a one-command way to star your dependencies' GitHub repos
- you want to encourage package maintainers with minimal effort

## When to avoid
- your dependencies are hosted outside github.com (only GitHub is supported)
- you don't want to grant the plugin access to your GitHub account

- maturity: active
- function: cli, developer-tools, package-manager
- domain: developer-tools
