Demat ! I'm Yannick, a senior backend developer based in Brighton, UK.
A few weeks ago, GitHub quietly released a feature that was quickly noticed by the community – profile READMEs. A profile README is a global README file for your GitHub profile; in this article, I describe how I've used GitHub Actions and PHP to automatically update my profile README to list my blog's latest publications.
Git hooks are scripts that are run every time a specific Git-related event happens, like a commit or a checkout. This article shows you how to use a simple hook to enforce a coding standard at every commit in a PHP project.
When using packages maintained by other developers, you may eventually find yourself waiting for a fix, an update, or the merge of a PR that will be available with the next release. I you can't wait, a workaround is to fork the corresponding repository, make the changes you need and then use your fork instead of the original package.
