FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Makefile
If you are not familiar with Makefiles, I recommend you this blog article which is a nice introduction.
I am a big fan of Makefiles and after using it for years in almost every project I had my hand in, private or public, OSS or not, I adopted some conventions on how to write a Makefile.
This library is about providing some helpers as to build some convetion checks as well as provide a few built-in ones.
A bare-bone Makefile that I may use will look like this:
Usage
With the simple Makefile above, there is a few things that can easily go wrong still:
- The 2 or 3 lines to declare a command may not be in sync
- A command may be declared more than once
- The output of the help command matters to you (e.g. for your contributors) so you want to make sure it looks nice.
If this is of matter to you, then you can easily create the following test:
Going further
Under the hood this package provides a simple Parser which parses the Makefile
content into a list of Rules (which represent a Makefile rule).
From this it is easy to leverage the parsed output to implement some more custom
checks tailored to your needs. To check in more details, you can check the
BaseMakefileTestCase itself which makes use of it (there is no magic!).
