php-cs-fixer: Describe a rule or ruleset.
$ php-cs-fixer describe ${rule}
try on your machine

The command php-cs-fixer describe ${rule} is used to describe a specific rule in PHP coding standards that is checked by the PHP-CS-Fixer tool.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • php-cs-fixer is the command-line interface for the PHP-CS-Fixer tool, which is used to analyze and fix coding style issues in PHP code.
  • describe is an option of the php-cs-fixer command that retrieves the description of a specific rule.
  • ${rule} represents the name of the rule you want to describe. This should be replaced with the actual name of the rule you are interested in.

When you run this command with a rule name, the PHP-CS-Fixer tool will provide information about the rule, including its purpose, specific code examples, and any configuration options associated with it. This helps you understand the behavior and impact of the rule on your PHP codebase.
