The command "roave-backward-compatibility-check --from=${git_reference}" is a command that is used to perform a backward compatibility check in a PHP project using the Roave Backward Compatibility Check tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "roave-backward-compatibility-check": This is the main command that invokes the Roave Backward Compatibility Check tool. It is the command-line interface for the tool.

  • "--from=${git_reference}": This is an option passed to the command that specifies the starting point for the backward compatibility check. The "${git_reference}" is a variable that should be replaced with a specific Git reference, such as a commit hash or a branch name. This indicates the point in the project's history to start the compatibility check.

Overall, this command is used to initiate a compatibility check in a PHP project using the Roave Backward Compatibility Check tool, starting from a specified Git reference. This allows developers to ensure that any code changes they make do not introduce compatibility issues with previous versions of the project.
