Lint

Lint is a wrapper to php -l command.

Composer Installation

To install Lint, you first need to install Composer, a Package Manager for PHP, following those few steps:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can run this command to easily access composer from anywhere on your system:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Lint Installation

Once you have installed Composer, it's easy install Lint.

1. Edit your composer.json file, adding Lint to the require section:

{
    "require": {
        "3f/lint": "dev-master"
    },
}

2. Run the following command in your project root dir:

composer update
