Why is the entire vendor directory in github? I'm fairly certain some of those packages cannot be redistributed like that.

Agree. What is the point of using composer or any dependency manager if you check-in the vendor folder?

[huuu]

Because your project is useless when a dependency is removed in the future. It happened to me one time and now I'm really considering to include the vendor folder in my own repository.

Of course a dependency manager is still very useful to setup a new project.
