PHP Project Template
====================

[](#php-project-template)

A most basic PHP project template with [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/), [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/), and [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/?tab=readme-ov-file#php_codesniffer) ready to roll. The project will be [ISC-licensed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license) by default.

Additionally, the following Composer scripts are included to help you quickly get going.

- `composer app:dev:test`: runs the PHPUnit unit tests
- `composer app:dev:analyse`: runs PHPStan at level 11
- `composer app:dev:lint`: runs PHP\_CodeSniffer
- `composer app:dev:check-quality`: runs the PHPUnit unit tests, PHPStan, and then PHP\_CodeSniffer
