PHP Parser
A PHP parser written in PHP
This is a PHP 5.2 to PHP 8.0 parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and manipulation. A parser is useful for static analysis, manipulation of code and basically any other application dealing with code programmatically. A parser constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of the code and thus allows dealing with it in an abstract and robust way. As the parser is based on the tokens returned by token_get_all (which is only able to lex the PHP version it runs on), additionally a wrapper for emulating tokens from newer versions is provided. This allows to parse PHP 7.4 source code running on PHP 7.0, for example. This emulation is somewhat hacky and not perfect, but it should work well on any sane code. Support for pretty printing, which is the act of converting an AST into PHP code. Please note that "pretty printing" does not imply that the output is especially pretty. -

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. -

Error Prone
Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
Error Prone is a static analysis tool for Java that catches common programming mistakes at compile-time. It’s common for even the best programmers to make simple mistakes. And sometimes a refactoring that seems safe can leave behind code that will never do what’s intended. We’re used to getting help from the compiler, but it doesn’t do much beyond static type checking. Using Error Prone to augment the compiler’s type analysis, you can catch more mistakes before they cost you time, or end up as bugs in production. We use Error Prone in Google’s Java build system to eliminate classes of serious bugs from entering our code, and we’ve open-sourced it, so you can too. -

reviewdog
Automated code review tool integrated with any code analysis tools
I’d like to introduce reviewdog! An automated code review tool working with any lint tools and supports local run as well. “reviewdog” provides a way to post review comments to code hosting services, such as GitHub, automatically by integrating with any linter tools with ease. It uses any output of lint tools, with translation if required, and posts them as a comment if the file and line are in diff of patches to review. reviewdog also supports running in a local environment to filter the output of lint tools by diff. We can use various linters and static code analysis tools to detect such problems in local machines, editors, CI services. However, here is the problem. Static analysis tools may report false-positive results. Reporting false-positive results itself is ok, but due to the false-positive results we cannot make build fail and it becomes difficult for us to find true positive results from messed up analysis results. -

DiffReport
Code Difference report
Often I have seen some Huge Maintenance Projects it is always very difficult to track the incremental files for each release and If we want to do that we need to checkout both the branches and use some UI based tool to get the diff of the files finally we end up waiting in front of the PC for a long time and do this job. In many cases we spend more than 2 hrs/day. The time increases if there are more such parallel releases and at the end of the day 1 developer does it as full time job and has zero productivity. I thought of adding value here. This just gets the diff files. Can be used for Static code analysis like PMD to do PMD only for the delta. The current status of the project is in Development". If you wish to add something please mail me. -
