  • Writing a PHPUnit extension

    Deep dive10 min read

    turkerdev/phpunit-json-coverage-report, and a coverage report a machine can read. Coverage as a percentage in a log, and no way to ask which paths changed.

  • A path repository that reached staging

    Note1 min read

    A local path repository committed by accident, and an install on a machine where the path does not exist. A path repository is the right tool for developing…

  • Composer’s audit as the only gate that has ever failed
