PHP Git Ignore
==============

[](#php-git-ignore)

This is a maintenance fork of  to provide compatibility with newer versions of PHP.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require civicrm/gitignore
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

The `Makefile` defines targets for building and testing. If you have GNU Make and PHP, then just run:

```
make
```

If you don't have GNU Make and PHP, then you can use `nix-shell` ([Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/download/)), eg

```
nix-shell -A php83
make
```

Or you can string together several calls, with alternating versions of PHP:

```
## Run the tests with multiple versions of PHP
nix-shell -A php83 --run 'make clean run-unit-tests'
nix-shell -A php82 --run 'make clean run-unit-tests'
nix-shell -A php81 --run 'make clean run-unit-tests'
nix-shell -A php74 --run 'make clean run-unit-tests'
nix-shell -A php70 --run 'make run-unit-tests'
nix-shell -A php56 --run 'make run-unit-tests'
## (Each phpXX should be listed in shell.nix)
```
