Default Project
===============

[](#default-project)

This is a default structure for PHP projects. With this template you can speed up the process of creating of new: open-source, proprietary, test, demo and etc. projects!

This template has basic configuration for [PHPUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit) and [PHP-CS-Fixer](https://github.com/friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer) libraries, configured `composer.json`with PSR-4 namespaces for source code and tests, `.gitignore` with basic files and directories to exclude them from Git and README with cool badges :)

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

[](#installation)

For creating new project based on this template just execute the following command

```
$ composer create-project hotfix31/default-project project-name
```

> NOTE: You can add `--no-dev` right after `create-project` flag if you don't want to install dev dependencies to your project

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Main changes that you need to do:

1. Update `name`, `description`, `keywords`, `authors` section of the `composer.json` file, [lines 2-4](composer.json#L2-L4), [9-10](composer.json#L9-L10).
