Add files to an executable phar: phpcs security rules

addfilestophar.md

• Create a temporary directory
• Copy the phar file you want to add the files to cp /home/joe/bin/phpcs73.phar .
• create another temporary directory mkdir k
• copy inside the structure you want to have in the phar. For example, inside the phpcs73.phar file there is a structure like this: src/Standards/ (you can see the contents and structure of your phar with phar list -f file.phar and I want to copy the new rules inside that directory so I create k/src/Standards/Security like this

mkdir k/src
mkdir k/src/Standards
cp -a src/Standards/Security k/src/Standards

which contains all the new rules

• now I add them to the phar file with phar add -f phpcs73.phar k
