无法在通过composer（PHP）下载的git中添加文件

Question

I am working on a php project and relying on composer for installing dependencies which is working fine in my case but when I try to commit the files things get tricky.

A simplified view of my composer.json is as follows.

"require": {
        "apache/log4php": "2.3.0",
        "asojon/mysql-pdo-wrapper": "dev-master"
    },
    "autoload":{
        "psr-0":{
            "": ""
        }
    }

When I ran composer install it created 3 folders namely composer,apache and asojon and autoload.php file under vendor folder.Then I went ahead and comited the vendor folder and now when I clone my project repo all the files under vendor/apache and vendor/asojon are empty. Am i missing something here ?

You should not commit you vendor folder but only your composer json, it is why composer exist. Every time you git clone your repo, you should run composer install.
