php-cs-fixer: Execute code style fixing for a specific directory.
$ php-cs-fixer fix ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "php-cs-fixer fix ${path-to-directory}" is used to fix the coding style issues in PHP files within a specific directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "php-cs-fixer" refers to the PHP-CS-Fixer tool, which is a popular PHP coding style fixer.
  • "fix" is the command that tells PHP-CS-Fixer to fix the code.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path of the directory containing the PHP files you want to fix.

When you run this command, PHP-CS-Fixer will analyze the PHP files in the specified directory and apply coding style rules to fix any issues it finds. This can include formatting issues (indentation, line breaks, etc.), PHP language features, and more. The tool will automatically make the necessary changes to conform to the defined coding style rules.

By using PHP-CS-Fixer, you can ensure consistent and standardized coding styles across your PHP projects, making the code more readable and maintainable.
