Nexcess Coding Standards

The Nexcess Coding Standard is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules for Nexcess PHP and WordPress projects.

Requirements

Installation

This package should be installed as a development dependency for your project:

After installation, the standard is available to PHPCS as Nexcess.
