Code Sniffer
============

[](#code-sniffer)

The coding standards that have been set and agreed by the development team.

Licence

This project is open source software released under the terms of the MIT licence: see [LICENCE.md](LICENCE.md).

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP >=5.6

As this is a private repo, when using composer to require this package - it is assumed your SSH key has already been added to GitHub to authenticate.

### Installing

[](#installing)

Start by adding this repo to your projects `composer.json` file:

```
{
  "repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url":  "git@github.com:gatenbysanderson/code-sniffer.git",
        "no-api": true
    }
  ]
}
```

You can then simply require the package as with any other:

```
$ composer require --dev gatenbysanderson/code-sniffer

```

### Running the Sniffer

[](#running-the-sniffer)

To run the sniffer, you can either call the command in full:

```
$ vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=vendor/gatenbysanderson/code-sniffer/src/phpcs.xml directory1 [directory2 ...]

```

Or create a composer script to make life easier:

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "gscs": "phpcs --standard=vendor/gatenbysanderson/code-sniffer/src/phpcs.xml directory1 [directory2 ...]"
  }
}
```

This allows you to then run:

```
$ composer gscs

```
