Hey Guys

I am starting my next laravel project and this time I want to be able to keep all used frameworks up to date during development. I tried to add a composer.json in my root directory, containing dependencies to laravel, bootstrap, jquery and fontawesome. The problem is, that then everything is put into .vendor directory, which wasn't the idea ;)

It seems like composer isn't the tool for the task. Here is what I want to achieve: -the laravel "dist" in my root directory (without resources used for development of laravel itself) -the other 3 libs/frameworks in laravel's "public" directory, and also only the "dist" resources (so for example for bootstrap: only the "min"-files in bootstrap/dist.

How can I achieve this? Git submodules also import everything AFAIK, and composer didn't work too ;) How do you keep your webdev resources up to date?
