BuildKit
Concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit
BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. BuildKit is a new project under the Moby umbrella for building and packaging software using containers. It’s a new codebase meant to replace the internals of the current build features in the Moby Engine. BuildKit emerged from the discussions about improving the build features in Moby Engine. We received a lot of positive feedback for the multi-stage build feature introduced in April and had proposals and user requests for many similar additions. But before that, we needed to make sure that we have capabilities to continue adding such features in the future and a solid foundation to extend on. Quite soon it was clear that we would need to redefine most of the fundamentals about how we even define a build operation and needed a clean break from the current codebase. A proposal was written, and development started in the open under the new repository. -

Iosevka
Versatile typeface for code, from code
Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif + slab-serif, monospace + quasi‑proportional typeface family, designed for writing code, using in terminals, and preparing technical documents. The Iosevka’s monospace family is provided in a slender outfit by default: glyphs are exactly 1/2em wide. Compared to the competitors, you could fit more columns within the same screen width. Iosevka provides two widths, Normal and Extended. If you prefer more breeze between the character, choose Extended and enjoy. Terminal emulators have a stricter compatibility requirements for fonts. Therefore, Iosevka and Iosevka Slab all contain two specialized families, Term and Fixed, targeting terminal users. In these families, the symbols will be narrower to follow terminals’ ideology of column count. In the Fixed families, the ligation will be disabled to ensure better compatibility in certain environments. -

PHP dotenv
Loads environment variables automatically
You should never store sensitive credentials in your code. Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a twelve-factor app. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments, such as database credentials or credentials for 3rd party services, should be extracted from the code into environment variables. Basically, a .env file is an easy way to load custom configuration variables that your application needs without having to modify .htaccess files or Apache/nginx virtual hosts. This means you won't have to edit any files outside the project, and all the environment variables are always set no matter how you run your project, Apache, Nginx, CLI, and even PHP's built-in webserver. It's WAY easier than all the other ways you know of to set environment variables, and you're going to love it! -

Pylint
It's not just a linter that annoys you!
Pylint is a static code analyzer for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python 3.7.2 and above. Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored. Projects that you might want to use alongside pylint include flake8 (faster and simpler checks with very few false positives), mypy, pyright or pyre (typing checks), bandit (security-oriented checks), black and isort (auto-formatting), autoflake (automated removal of unused import or variable), pyupgrade (automated upgrade to newer python syntax) and pydocstringformatter (automated pep257). Pylint isn't smarter than you: it may warn you about things that you have conscientiously done or checks for some things that you don't care about. During adoption, especially in a legacy project where pylint was never enforced. -

Flow
A static type checker for JavaScript
Flow is a static type checker for JavaScript. It was designed to help improve code quality and developer productivity. It does this through several smart capabilities. First, it identifies problems as you code, so you no longer have to waste time guessing and checking again and again. Second, it understands your code and makes its knowledge available, allowing you to build other smart tools on top of it. Third, it helps you refactor safely so you can focus on the changes you want to make and not on what you might break. Lastly, it can help prevent bad rebases and protect your carefully designed library, which is especially relevant when working with a large group of developers. Flow integrates with many tools, so you can easily and seamlessly insert it into your existing workflow and toolchain. -

Application Inspector
A source code analyzer built for surfacing features of interest
Microsoft Application Inspector is a software source code characterization tool that helps identify coding features of first or third party software components based on well-known library/API calls and is helpful in security and non-security use cases. It uses hundreds of rules and regex patterns to surface interesting characteristics of source code to aid in determining what the software is or what it does from what file operations it uses, encryption, shell operations, cloud API's, frameworks and more and has received industry attention as a new and valuable contribution to OSS on ZDNet, SecurityWeek, CSOOnline, Linux.com/news, HelpNetSecurity, Twitter and more and was first featured on Microsoft.com. Application Inspector is different from traditional static analysis tools in that it doesn't attempt to identify "good" or "bad" patterns; it simply reports what it finds against a set of over 400 rule patterns for feature detection including features that impact security. -

BAT
A cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration
A cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration. By default, bat pipes its own output to a pager (e.g. less) if the output is too large for one screen. If you would rather bat work like cat all the time (never page output), you can set --paging=never as an option, either on the command line or in your configuration file. If you intend to alias cat to bat in your shell configuration, you can use alias cat='bat --paging=never' to preserve the default behavior. Even with a pager set, you can still use bat to concatenate files. Whenever bat detects a non-interactive terminal (i.e. when you pipe into another process or into a file), bat will act as a drop-in replacement for cat and fall back to printing the plain file contents, regardless of the --pager option's value. Use bat --list-themes to get a list of all available themes for syntax highlighting. -

Sloc Cloc and Code (scc)
Sloc, Cloc and Code: scc is a very fast accurate code counter
Sloc, Cloc and Code: scc is a very fast accurate code counter with complexity calculations and COCOMO estimates written in pure Go. The tool is similar to cloc, sloccount and tokei. For counting the lines of code, blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages. The goal is to be the fastest code counter possible, but also perform COCOMO calculations like sloccount, estimate code complexity similar to cyclomatic complexity calculators, and produce unique lines of code or DRYness metrics. In short one tool to rule them all. -

Static Analysis Tools for PHP
Docker image that provides static analysis tools for PHP
Docker image providing static analysis tools for PHP. The list of available tools and the installer is actually managed in the jakzal/toolbox repository. Docker image with quality analysis tools for PHP. To run the selected tool inside the container, you'll need to mount the project directory on the container with -v "$(pwd):/project". Some tools like to write to the /tmp directory (like PHPStan, or Behat in some cases), therefore it's often useful to share it between docker runs, i.e. with -v "$(pwd)/tmp-phpqa:/tmp". If you want to be able to interrupt the selected tool if it takes too much time to complete, you can use the --init option. Some tools are not included in the docker image, to use them refer to their documentation. Provides utilities to report legacy tests and usage of deprecated code. -
