FAQ
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Gabbro is a lightweight PHP utility library that provides a solid foundation of tools for building applications.
It focuses on core abstractions and practical helpers — the kind of building blocks you reach for again and again — wrapped in a consistent, modern API.
✨ Features
Strong Type Safety
Designed to work seamlessly with PHPStan / Psalm for compile-time safety
Collections
Immutable and mutable collection types for working with data:
KeyTable, Map, ArrayList, HashSet
Immutable interfaces for safe sharing between components
Streams
Stream abstractions for handling input/output, iteration, and buffering.
Shell
Quickly execute shell commands and work with interactive shells.
Built-in support for stream selection and makes use of the Stream library.
Class loading
Utility class loaders and autoload helpers that follow modern PSR standards.
CLI argument parsing ArgV provides a clean way to parse command-line input into flags, options, and operands, with support for GNU style options.
Flat-file configuration parsing FlatFileScanner reads simple, Unix-style config files with comments, whitespace, escaping, and quoted values.
Core utilities
Handy helpers for type conversion (toBoolean, toNumber, toString), version handling, validation, and more.
📌 Philosophy
Small, composable classes → each tool does one thing well.
Strong static typing → every class and method is designed with generics and docblocks for static analyzers.
Consistent API surface → all streams, collections and parsers behave the same way.
Foundation, not framework → no hidden magic, just reusable bricks.
