[Neos] Local Git versioning of a NEOS project

[Pankaj Lele]

Hi Sebastian,

The best way is to fully use composer. Make version control of your own 
packages only.
With TYPO3 Flow or TYPO3 Neos project you can create 2 or more GIT 
repositories inside your own GIT server. 1 repository which contains 
your base composer.json manifest and global Configuration files like 
Routes.yaml etc. Then another GIT repository/ies for packages you will 
develop. these package repositories will have their own composer.json 
manifest. so create composer.json in each package repository and push 
it.
Now in base repository's composer.json add each of your pacakge 
repository URL in the "repositories" section. In the "require" section 
add the package keys of your own packages.
After you run "composer update" your packages will be installed in 
Packages/Application or Packages/Sites as per your package type.

So when you want to get your project cloned, simply clone the base 
repository and run composer update in it to get everything else 
installed.
