rector: Process a directory without applying changes (dry run).
$ rector process ${path-to-directory} --dry-run
try on your machine
The command you provided is a usage of the Rector tool, which is a PHP refactoring and code upgrade tool. Let's break down the command:
rector
is the executable command that invokes the Rector tool.process
is the command to tell Rector to process the specified code.${path-to-directory}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory containing the PHP files you want to process.
The --dry-run
option is used to simulate the refactoring process without actually modifying any files. It allows you to see the suggested changes that Rector would make without making any actual changes to your codebase. This can be useful for previewing the potential effects of running Rector and verifying that the expected refactoring is being applied correctly.
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.
