Difference between require and install vs create-project in composer

by

require will add a dependency to the composer.json file and load it into the vendor directory as you have correctly noticed.

create-project on the other hand will clone the dependency, i.e. use the dependency as a template for a new project. Take a look at the repository behind laravel/laravel: https://github.com/laravel/laravel
