• Cheat sheet: the common commands, one line each.
• Install and upgrade: prebuilt binaries, the .deb, and upgrading in place.
• Commands: every subcommand's flags, straight from --help.
• Using viv as composer: the composer shim, for scripts that call Composer by name.
• Migrating from Composer: the shim, Dockerfiles and CI flags.
• Plugins: which Composer plugins viv reimplements, ignores or refuses.
• Cache and offline use: the shared store, --cache-dir and --offline.
• Compatibility and scope: what viv's output contract does and doesn't cover.
• Reference: flags and file formats in one place.
• Troubleshooting: common errors and what to do about them.
• Compare: viv against Composer, riff and vivacity.
