Libraries and Version Controllers

I actually use the CodeIgniter Package system http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/li...ckage_path to place all my "common" or "shared" libraries, helpers, models, and views (actually I can put controllers in there but the CodeIgniter packages code won't handle those without some help). Then I manage those in a separate GIT repro. Since it's a completely separate folder it might be a little easier for you?

I tried the composer way but managing the package in a private repro and not in packgist seemed like more of a pain.
If you don't mind your code being public and publishing it on packgist it's a lot easier.

Unfortunately some in the PHP community (not to be named here) think packgist is overrun with "worthless" code.
Personally the amount of "choices" doesn't bother me.
