Conan vs Packagist: What are the differences?
Conan: C/C++ package manager. Install or build your own packages for any platform. Conan also allows you to run your own server easily from the command line; Packagist: A default Composer package repository. It is the main Composer repository. It aggregates public PHP packages installable with Composer. It lets you find packages and lets Composer know where to get the code from. You can use Composer to manage your project or libraries' dependencies.
Conan and Packagist can be primarily classified as "Hosted Package Repository" tools.
Conan and Packagist are both open source tools. It seems that Conan with 3.02K GitHub stars and 391 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Packagist with 1.29K GitHub stars and 392 GitHub forks.
