Well, you can do that too. However, how does "ftp index.php" work once you use dependency management?

  "dependency management" doesn't really come into play with the scenario we are talking about which is: "It's completely optimised for the scenario where you simply want to create a webpage."

    I'll gladly grant you that point: it is easier to deploy a PHP application which solely relies on the standard library. Outside of that, PHP isn't easier than more well thought-out solutions.

      And for many thats enough and is one of the major reasons PHP is popular.

  You could just ftp the files directly from a particular branch, and keep the dependency management entirely off the production server. You probably shouldn't do it that way, but that's one way it could be done.

    You lost the novice at dependency management
