PHP Kata Sandbox
================

[](#php-kata-sandbox)

This is a simple skeleton for starting a TDD Kata in PHP. I find this useful when I develop a new PHP library from scratch.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

To begin a new TDD Kata just ask composer to create a new project based on this repository. Thanks to @edelprino I added a simple bash script to do it.

`curl -sS https://raw.github.com/dbellettini/php-kata-sandbox/master/install | sh`

Running tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

PHPUnit is embedded in vendor folder, just type:

`cd kata-sandbox && bin/phpunit `

Keeping your coding style PSR-{1,2} compliant
---------------------------------------------

[](#keeping-your-coding-style-psr-12-compliant)

Optional step, just copy hooks/pre-commit file to your .git/hooks folder
