The command "phpcs -i" is typically used in the context of PHP development. Here's what it means:

  • "phpcs" refers to the PHP CodeSniffer tool, which is a popular utility for analyzing PHP code against pre-defined coding standards.
  • "-i" is a command-line option that stands for "init", which initializes a configuration for the CodeSniffer tool.

Taken together, "phpcs -i" initializes the CodeSniffer tool and displays information about available coding standards and paths. This command is often used at the start of a development project to ensure that developers are using the correct coding standards and to set up configuration files for the CodeSniffer tool.
