# phpcs-diff
2-
Detects violations of a defined set of coding standards based on a git diff
1+
## About
2+
phpcs-diff detects violations of a defined set of coding standards based on a git diff. It uses phpcs from the [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) project.
3+
4+
This project is for those who have legacy code bases that cannot risk changing everything at once to become fully compliant to a coding standard. This executable works by only checking the changed lines, compared to the base branch, against all failed violations for those files, so you can be confident that any new or changed code will be compliant.
5+
6+
This will hopefully put you in a position where your codebase will become more compliant to that coding standard over time, and maybe you will find the resource to eventually change everything, and just run `phpcs` on its own.

## Usage

10+
NAME
11+
phpcs-diff - detect violations based on a git diff
12+
13+
SYNOPSIS
14+
phpcs-diff [BASE_BRANCH]... [OPTION]...
15+
16+
OPTIONS
17+
Here is a (very) short summary of the options available in phpcs-diff.
18+
19+
-v
20+
increase verbosity
21+
22+
Basic example
23+
24+
```shell
25+
phpcs-diff develop -v
26+
```
27+
28+
Where the current branch you are on is the branch you are comparing with, and `develop` is the base branch. In this example, `phpcs-diff` would run the following diff statement:
29+
30+
```shell
31+
git diff my-current-branch develop
32+
```
33+
34+
## Installation
35+
36+
The recommended method of installing this library is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
37+
38+
### Composer
39+
40+
Run the following command from your project root:
41+
42+
composer global require olivertappin/phpcs-diff
43+
44+
Alternatively, you can manually include a dependency for `olivertappin/phpcs-diff` in your `composer.json` file. For example:
45+
46+
```json
47+
{
48+
"require-dev": {
49+
"olivertappin/phpcs-diff": "^1.0"
50+
}
51+
}
52+
```
53+
54+
And run `composer update olivertappin/phpcs-diff`.
55+
56+
### Git Clone
57+
You can also download the `phpcs-diff` source and create a symlink to your `/usr/bin` directory:
58+
59+
git clone https://github.com/olivertappin/phpcs-diff.git
60+
ln -s phpcs-diff/bin/phpcs-diff /usr/bin/phpcs-diff
61+
cd /var/www/project
62+
phpcs-diff master -v
63+
64+
## Requirements
65+
66+
`phpcs-diff` requires PHP version 5.6.0 or later. This project also depends on `phpcs` which is used internally to fetch the failed violations.
