This project maintains the minimum ruleset of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) to validate code developed for WordPress.com VIP.
The ruleset contains only the rules which are considered being "blockers" according to the WordPress.com VIP documentation
The ruleset takes advantage of existing rules in the WordPress-Coding-Standards project.
Please refer to the installation instructions of WordPress Coding Standards for PHP_CodeSniffer project.
Should you wish to run both standards (WordPress.com VIP minimum standard & WordPress.com VIP coding standard), you can add both to PHPCS by running the following configuration command:
phpcs --config-set installed_paths [/path/to/standard],[path/to/standard]
(note the comma separating each standard)
