Maintainer

Maintainer provides a single entry point for repetitive package and application maintenance tasks, including validation, commits, versioning, changelogs, deployments, and GitHub releases.

Requirements

• PHP 8.5 or later
• Composer
• Git
• GitHub CLI for workflows that interact with GitHub

Installation

Install Maintainer as a development dependency:

composer require --dev artisan-toolbox/maintainer:^1.0

Open its interactive menu:

vendor/bin/maintainer

The PHAR contains Maintainer’s runtime dependencies, keeping them isolated from the dependencies of the project being maintained.

Initialize project configuration:

vendor/bin/maintainer config:publish

Common workflows

Maintainer’s documentation follows the same groups as its interactive menu:

• Code Quality: apply automated fixes and run PHP and frontend checks as configurable workflows.
• Configuration: publish templates and manage settings, secrets, and SSH keys.
• Deployment: run and unlock Deployer or attach shared repository and PM2 tasks.
• Versioning: review diffs, create commits, and publish GitHub releases.

Open a feature page for its requirements, configuration, examples, interactive behavior, automation behavior, and failure conditions.
