如何在没有发现问题的情况下复制供应商文件夹

Question

I am using composer for my project and the entire project (even the vendor folder) is under git version control.
I know it may seem like a false action but I am in bandwidth deficit and I want to lower my bandwidth usage so I use this method to just copy the vendor folder.
When I push to to another repository and try to run php main.php from there It says that can not find the classes that I am using there.

I have managed to solve this problem by removing the whole vendor folder and re running composer i but it is not the behavior that I want. I want low bandwidth usage, I want to not wait for package installation.

I am using the same method for virtualenv of python apps and there is the same problem but that problem can be solved by just running virtualenv venv/ again so it corrects the new paths for the copied environment. How can I achieve the same behavior with composer? I dont see any info or command that can help me doing this.

Thanks in advance folks :)

Found the solution.
All you need to do is to remove one file and one folder:

rm -rf vendor/composer;
rm vendor/autoload.php;

Then run composer i and it will recreate the removed composer folder again and corrects the autoload files.

Have a nice day.
