GrumPHP is a PHP code-quality tool that integrates automated checks into the Git workflow. It examines code before changes are committed, helping developers catch formatting problems, failing tests and violations of project standards.
The software works as a Composer plugin and registers Git hooks when installed as a development dependency. Project rules are defined in a YAML configuration file, so teams can enforce consistent standards without asking every contributor to remember a separate checklist.
GrumPHP can also run checks independently of Git commits, making it useful during development and in continuous integration pipelines.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Includes integrations with numerous development tools, including PHPStan, PHPUnit, PHPCS, PHP-CS-Fixer, Psalm, ESLint and YAMLlint.
- Checks Git branch names and commit messages against configurable rules.
- Offers built-in checks for file sizes, dependency configuration, duplicate code and vulnerable packages.
- Runs tasks in parallel, with configurable worker limits and execution priorities.
- Supports automatic code fixes through compatible formatting tools.
- Lets developers make individual checks blocking or non-blocking, enable or disable tasks, and customise their settings.
- Provides named test suites for running selected groups of checks.
- Accepts staged file lists and Git diffs through standard input, allowing checks to target specific changes.
- Supports custom tasks, extensions and alternative task-runner implementations.
- Offers commands to initialise or remove Git hooks and run selected checks manually.
