PHP_CodeSniffer development moved to Git

08 Nov

Quite a lot of PEAR packages are being moved to hosting on Github, and Squiz Labs is starting to host projects over there as well, so I've moved development of PHP_CodeSniffer to Github and will be closing down the existing SVN repository.

The major benefit of this change is easier patch submission and acceptance. A lot of great developers submit features and bug fixes for PHP_CodeSniffer and I'm sure many will like the ability to submit pull requests instead of packaging up diff files.

Bug tracking remains on the PEAR website for now, and I'll of course continue accepting diffs on issue reports as I currently do.

You'll find PHP_CodeSniffer here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer

The README has all the info you need to get PHP_CodeSniffer installed from either PEAR or Git, as well as links to the bug tracker and news sources.
