This tutorial assumes you are on a Mac, but I also wrote a quick start for Drupal and BLT on Windows 10.

Contents

PHP_CodeSniffer Quick Start

PHP_CodeSniffer detects violations of a defined set of coding standards.

You can use it to prepare for PHP version upgrades. There is a set of sniffs that checks for PHP cross-version compatibility which allows you to analyze your code for compatibility with higher and lower versions of PHP.

To check your Drupal codebase, first clone it into a clean directory, and check out the correct branch (e.g. git checkout develop).

Install the PHPCompatibility sniffs
