Proposal: add link to source code repository to make it easier to get the changelog when doing a composer update

Hi,

I cant find a subject related to this so i open a new one.
When doing this with yarn yarn upgrade-interactive, you get a response like this:

yarn upgrade-interactive v1.22.15

 "<red>"    : Major Update backward-incompatible updates 
 "<yellow>" : Minor Update backward-compatible features

 ◯ postcss-preset-env  latest  8.3.1   ❯  8.3.2   https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugin-packs/postcss-preset-env#readme
 ◯ webpack             latest  5.78.0  ❯  5.79.0  https://github.com/webpack/webpack

with the link to the website or the github. It makes it more easier to find the changelog and see what has changed (or see the commit or whatever).

Is it possible to add this when doing a composer update ?

composer outdated output has links to the package page if you ctrl-click the package name. That IMO is most comparable to what you are asking.

ah yes nice, it does half the job but it is ok: no need to google each package to find the repo. Enough for now. I assume u do not want to add this? (i may try to do a PR if ever it seems interesting?)

[Seldaek]

Yeah I'd rather not add so much complexity in the update command as we already have some way to get links via outdated.

Note that as a related feature if you are interested in diffs/changelogs when you update packages we do offer that for PRs via https://packagist.com/features/update-review (it is a paid offering though, but it comes with more features).
