The PHPMD project welcomes your contribution. There are several ways to help out:
- Create an issue on GitHub, if you have found a bug or have an idea for a feature
- Write test cases for open bug issues
- Write patches for open bug/feature issues
- Participate on the PHPMD IRC Channel
There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow, so that we have a chance of keeping on top of things.
- The code must follow the PSR-2 coding standard.
- All code changes should be covered by unit tests
- Submit an issue
- Make sure it does not already exist.
- Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce, when it is a bug.
- Make sure you note the PHPMD version you use.
Make sure your code changes comply with the PSR-2 Coding standard, using PHP Codesniffer:
phpcs -p --extensions=php --standard=PSR2 /path/to/phpmd/
