Probably not of interest to anyone who isn't working on projects with me. Including this package as a dev-dependency gets you: - [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) for testing. - [Psalm](https://psalm.dev/) for static analysis. - [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/) for another flavor of static analysis. - [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) for linting - [Roave Security Advisories](https://github.com/roave/security-advisories) to help avoid depending on packages with vulnerabilities. Along with config files for each. Motivation ---------- [](#motivation) The key motivation is to be able to share configurations for things like psalm, php\_cs, and phpunit between my projects, and keep things largely in sync. Assumptions ----------- [](#assumptions) This package assumes your code is in `src/` and your tests are in `tests/`. It further assumes that you want psalm and phpcs to be run on your test sources. Usage ----- [](#usage) Set `minimum-stability`: ``` # Because this package includes roave/security-advisories which, by design, # will never have a stable release: composer config minimum-stability dev # you'll almost certainly also want to do: composer config prefer-stable true ``` Add this package a dev-dependency: ``` composer install --dev timdev/devtools ``` Run the setup script which will copy the three config files into your project root: ``` vendor/bin/devtools-setup ``` Psalm is configured to use a baseline file, and will complain if there isn't one. If you project does not already have a `psalm-baseline.xml` file in its root directory, `devtools-setup` will install an empty baseline file for you, so that psalm will run without error. ### Local Tweaks [](#local-tweaks) Do not make changes to any of the `.xml.dist` files installed by `devtools-setup`. Your changes will be overwritten during an upgrade. Instead, you should add non-`.dist` versions. Upgrading --------- [](#upgrading) Since the main point of this package is to manage local configuration for various tools, you should re-run `vendor/bin/devtools-setup` after upgrading this package. Inspiration ----------- [](#inspiration) I created this package after experimenting with [ramsey/devtools](https://github.com/ramsey/devtools), which is an incredibly cool thing. But I wanted something more focused on our needs at TimDev Software. ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 80% of packages Maintenance41 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
