CI Generator
The CI Generator intelligently configures CI workflows for your Laravel or PHP projects on GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab.
Shift reviews your Composer dependencies and project files to create jobs for linting PHP, checking code syntax, and running tests. Shift builds a common PHP environment with extensions and services making it easy to adjust.
After running the CI Generator these workflows will automatically run any time a PR is opened - giving you even more confidence when merging changes in future Shifts.
Using the CI Generator to automatically configure your CI workflow has an estimated time savings of 2 hours.
