Including Bootstrap via Composer twbs/bootstrap

I have been trying to link my style sheet from within Slim to the Bootstrap directory in vendors, and been failing. For now so I can move on with my life I just copied the file into a css directory I have and have been able to link that.

So the folder structure to the bootstrap is /vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css

I can link to my style sheets effectively this way. href="css/myfile.css"

That means the directory css is adjacent to /public/

I was confused for a while because I was trying to go back from /public/index.php by trying ../css/myfile.css but since my root is public it seems I don't have to do that. I have tried:

href="vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"
href=__DIR__. "/vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"
href="../vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css

and several other I can't currently think of. Am I missing something? Whats the deal here... (I'm also using twig)
