Cargoman – A zero-config private Composer registry built for speed and simplicity

Summary: Cargoman is a private Composer registry for PHP teams that replaces Satis and Private Packagist with a fast, single-URL solution. Written in Rust, it automatically syncs private Git repositories, tracks package downloads, detects leaked tokens, and can be deployed via managed cloud or self-hosted binary.

What it does

Cargoman syncs private GitHub or GitLab repositories using personal access tokens and webhooks, providing a seamless Composer registry with single-URL authentication. It offers analytics on package downloads and token leaks, deployable as a managed service or a lightweight Rust binary.

Who it's for

It targets PHP developers, agencies, and teams managing private packages or internal microservices who need a streamlined Composer registry without complex configuration.

Why it matters

Cargoman eliminates manual Satis rebuilds and the overhead of enterprise registries, simplifying private package management with faster setup and maintenance.
