<![CDATA[How to create a Composer package from scratch]]> A helper class, a small client wrapper or a set of validation rules often starts in one project and ends up copied into the next one. From that point the copies drift apart, a bug fixed in one of them stays open in the rest, and there is no version number to refer to when something changes.
