It includes a script to apply the DevKit to libraries (instead of the default, for projects) and some custom updates to the template files. Included -------- [](#included) See the [DevKit docs](https://github.com/codeigniter4/devkit/blob/develop/README.md) for a complete list of bundled tools. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Applying Toolkit [](#applying-toolkit) Apply the development toolkit using the bash script from the directory where you wish it to apply: - ./vendor/tatter/tools/src/retool ... or: - composer retool Spark Autocomplete ------------------ [](#spark-autocomplete) **Tools** includes a directive for Bash's [Programmable Completion](http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Programmable-Completion)to allow tab-completing `spark` commands from the command-line. Simply copy **src/spark\_completion** to you Bash completions directory as "spark" and re-source your environment (i.e. log out & in): ``` sudo cp src/spark_completion /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/spark exit ``` Now when accessing commands for in CodeIgniter 4 you can autocomplete against the list of available commands for your instance: ``` > ./spark mi [tab] > ./spark migrate migrate migrate:create migrate:refresh migrate:rollback migrate:status ``` ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 99.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
