Why is /vendor added to laravel git ignore?

Question

Composer

Can you please explain why vendor is added to git ignore by default in all gitignore files for lara (at least on github)? I understand that vendore contains system files, but various dependencies are added during the development process, which also end up in /vendor. Isn't it easier to restore all the files at once when restoring an early commit, rather than writing a composer update so that it reloads everything necessary in /vendor?

Answer 1

Dependencies get into composer.json
. It is for this purpose that it was created so as not to store tons of code in your git or somewhere else.
