adhocore/phint

Initializes new PHP project with sane defaults using templates It scaffolds PHP library &/or project to boost your productivity and save time.

For already existing project, run with --sync flag to add missing stuffs, see phint init.

Once you have files in your src/ or lib/ you can run phint docs to generate API like documentation in .md format and phint test to generate basic test stubs with all the structures already maintained.

It helps you be even more lazier! phint is continuously evolving and the plan is to make it big.
