Magento 2 & auth.json

[kushalmale07a2]

I've been working some Mage2 builds locally and I can't fathom the correct way to handle auth.json and Composer access details.

I run all of my projects from ~/webdev/vhosts/ with each project having it's own virtualhost and folder.

As everything is run under the same user (it's my local machine) they all look to ~/.composer/auth.json for access details and this breaks as each project has it's own access keys for different repositories.

Magento comes with an auth.json in the root and also uses var/composer_home/auth.json but it seems that neither of these are loaded when using the composer command.

I've been unable to find an option for Composer to use a specific auth.json file.

How does everyone else deal with Composer access details?

Hello @kushalmale07a2 

Magento comes with a sample file in your root as auth.json.sample you need to copy it to auth.json.

It contains 2 key sets: 1 for Github and 1 for the Magento Repo

You can remove all and Enter the following data to your auth.json file to login. Please use the Public Key and the Private Key:

{
    "http-basic": {
        "repo.magento.com": {
            "username":"<your public key>",
            "password":"<your private key>"
        }
    }
}
