phpspec: Create a specification for a class.
$ phpspec describe ${class_name}
try on your machine

The command "phpspec describe ${class_name}" is used in the PHP testing framework called PhpSpec.

This command is used to create a new specification (or test) for a specific class. The ${class_name} placeholder is replaced with the name of the class for which you want to create the specification.

For example, if you have a class called "Calculator", you can run the command "phpspec describe Calculator" to generate a new specification file specifically for testing the Calculator class.

The generated specification file will contain an initial test case and is typically stored in a "spec" directory within your project. It provides a structure for writing tests and describing the expected behavior of the class being tested.

Using this command and writing specifications helps in following the principles of behavior-driven development (BDD), where you define the desired behavior of your code before implementing it.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
