Description
In order to help people decide on packages when provided with multiple options, the number of downloads should be displayed when presenting the user options; for example, when running pie install redis the following suggestion appears:
Did you mean one of these?
- phpredis/phpredis (💻 147,429 downloads, ⭐ 10,218 stars, provides extension: redis): A PHP extension for Redis
- pie-extensions/redis (💻 6 downloads, ⭐ 0 stars, provides extension: redis): PIE-compatible mirror of phpredis/phpredis
This could help with confusion about pie-extensions/ vendor being used, which is not official or endorsed by PIE.
