Composer already supports that:
Composer does not yet have native support for Gitea to be able to read archives generated by Gitea (if it does) so it would fallback to its generic git support which requires cloning the repo to install the package (often much slower than downloading only the code corresponding to a tag). |

Github is a popular git service and Gitlab and Gitea allows you to self host your own git servers. It would be amazing to see the ability to install packages directly from any github repo and any gitlab or gitea instance.
And to have the ability to have packages use dependancies directly from Github, Gitlab and Gitea repository and not have to only rely on dependencies from the Packagist repository.
Such a feature will allow for decentralisation, private repositories and the ability to truly self host your own packages.
