What Laravel Pint is

Laravel Pint is an opinionated PHP code style fixer that formats project files consistently. It applies Laravel’s style by default and requires no configuration to begin. New Laravel applications include Pint automatically, and it is part of recent Laravel framework releases; older projects can install it with Composer. It supports Laravel, PER, PSR-12, Symfony, and empty presets, with additional customization through pint.json. Built on PHP CS Fixer, it can use that tool’s rules as well as Pint’s optional custom rules. By default, Pint checks PHP files outside the vendor directory. It can format selected files or directories, check for errors without changing files, and focus on Git branch differences or uncommitted changes. Laravel documents running Pint with GitHub Actions when code is pushed. Blade formatting is off by default; enabling it uses Prettier and Blade and Tailwind CSS plugins and requires Node.js. The current package requires PHP ^8.3.0 and the json, mbstring, tokenizer, and xml extensions. Pint is MIT-licensed open-source software.
