==========

[](#repository)

You

- have an idea for a project involving PHP
- can't wait to get started
- are tired of creating the basics from scratch all the time

and this project provides a template for creating a new PHP project faster.

Follow the example steps outlined below to get started!

1. Create a project
-------------------

[](#1-create-a-project)

Let's assume we want to create the project in `~/Sites/foo/bar`, so let's run

```
$ composer create-project localheinz/repository ~/Sites/foo/bar dev-php

```

to create a project based on the [`php`](https://github.com/localheinz/repository/tree/php) branch.

For reference, see .

Now, change into the newly created project so we can move forward:

```
$ cd ~/Sites/foo/bar

```

2. Modify starting point to your needs
--------------------------------------

[](#2-modify-starting-point-to-your-needs)

### `.travis.yml`

[](#travisyml)

After you have enabled the project on , you probably want to

- obtain and encrypt a `GITHUB_TOKEN`
- obtain and encrypt a `CODECLIMATE_REPO_TOKEN`

to replace the existing, encrypted tokens (they will not work for you).

```
env:
  global:
    - secure: "..."
    - secure: "..."
```

For encrypting tokens, you need [`travis-ci/travis.rb`](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis.rb), see their [installation instructions](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis.rb#installation).

### `composer.json`

[](#composerjson)

You probably want to adjust

- `name`
- `description`
- `author`
- `license`
- `autoload` and `autoload-dev` configuration

For details see .

### `README.md`

[](#readmemd)

You probably want to adjust

- title
- links for badges
- etc.

3. Initialize git project
-------------------------

[](#3-initialize-git-project)

Run

```
$ git init

```

to initialize a git project.

Run

```
$ git add .

```

to add the existing files.

Run

```
$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'

```

to create an initial commit.

4. Push to remote
-----------------

[](#4-push-to-remote)

Assuming you have created a corresponding GitHub project `foo/bar`, run

```
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:foo/bar.git

```

to add the remote.

Then run

```
$ git push origin

```

👍 Voilà, you have created your project - happy coding!
