Getting Started
Welcome to the FastForward DevTools getting started guide. This section provides an introduction to the fast-forward/dev-tools
package, explaining its purpose and guiding you through the environment preparation.
What is FastForward DevTools?
Configuring tools like PHPUnit, Rector, PHP-CS-Fixer, EasyCodingStandard (ECS), and phpDocumentor in every new project leads to excessive boilerplate. FastForward DevTools eliminates this configuration fatigue by providing sensible defaults and a unified execution interface (composer dev-tools
) out of the box.
When you add this package as a development dependency, your project automatically inherits a unified command-line toolchain designed to ensure that all your projects adhere to the same rigorous standards without manual bootstrapping.
