The command "phpdox --skel" is used to generate a default project structure, also known as a skeleton, for a PHP documentation project using the PHPDox tool.
PHPDox is a popular documentation generator for PHP code. It allows developers to generate HTML, PDF, and other formats of documentation from their PHP source code. To generate the documentation, PHPDox requires a configuration file and a project structure.
The "--skel" option in the command tells PHPDox to create a default project structure or skeleton for the documentation project. It generates necessary directories and files required for the project, including the configuration file (phpdox.xml.dist), template files, and other directories for storing documentation outputs.
By running the "phpdox --skel" command, developers can quickly create a basic project structure for their PHP documentation project and start customizing it according to their needs.
