phing: Initialize a new build file.
$ phing -i ${path-to-build-xml}
try on your machine

The command "phing -i ${path-to-build-xml}" is used to run Phing, which is a build tool for PHP projects.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "phing": This is the command to run Phing. It should be executable from the command line.

  • "-i": This option stands for "interactive mode." When running Phing in interactive mode, it will prompt the user for input or confirmation when necessary.

  • "${path-to-build-xml}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the build.xml file. The build.xml file is an XML configuration file which defines the tasks, targets, and dependencies for the build process.

By providing the path to the build.xml file, Phing knows where to find the configuration and instructions for performing the build tasks. It will read the build.xml file, execute the specified tasks, and provide any necessary output or prompts based on the interactive mode.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
