phpcs: A comma-separated list of files to load before processing.
$ phpcs ${path-to-directory} --bootstrap ${file(s)}
try on your machine
The given command is used to run the PHP CodeSniffer (PHPCS) tool on a particular directory with a specified bootstrap file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
phpcs
: This is the command to run the PHP CodeSniffer tool.${path-to-directory}
: This represents the path to the directory you want to analyze. It should be replaced with the actual path on your system.--bootstrap
: This option specifies a bootstrap file or multiple files to be loaded before analyzing the code. A bootstrap file typically contains initialization or setup code that needs to be executed before running PHPCS.${file(s)}
: This placeholder represents one or more specific file names or patterns that you want PHPCS to analyze. If you want to analyze all PHP files within the specified directory, you can use*.php
or a dot (.
) to indicate the current directory.
To use the command, you need to replace ${path-to-directory}
with the actual directory path on your system, ${file(s)}
with the desired file(s) or file pattern, and execute it in a command-line or terminal environment. The PHP CodeSniffer tool will then analyze the PHP code files in the specified directory using the specified bootstrap file(s).
