phpcpd: Analyze duplicated code for a specific file or directory.
$ phpcpd ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command "phpcpd" is a tool in PHP (PHP Copy/Paste Detector) that scans for duplicate code in PHP projects. It helps identify pieces of code that are copied and pasted in multiple places, which could indicate potential issues or make the codebase harder to maintain.
The command "phpcpd ${filename_or_directory}" is used to run the phpcpd tool on a specific file or directory.
- "${filename_or_directory}" represents the path to a single file or a directory containing multiple PHP files.
- If you provide a filename, phpcpd will analyze that specific file for duplicate code.
- If you provide a directory, phpcpd will search for duplicate code in all PHP files within that directory and its subdirectories.
By running this command, phpcpd will analyze the specified file(s) or directory, identify duplicate code fragments, and generate a report indicating the found duplications.
