 There is a community project to develop PHP_CodeSniffer standard(s) for
 the WordPress Coding Standards: https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-
 Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards

 Currently it only (mainly) applies to PHP files, though PHP_CodeSniffer
 can also tokenize and apply sniffs to JS and CSS.

 It would be helpful if PHP_CodeSniffer could automatically check new
 patches being committed, to incorporate it into a pre-commit hook. A key
 here is to restrict PHP_CodeSniffer to only report errors and warnings on
 the lines that are part of the patch being committed. There is an initial
 version of such a “phpcs-patch” script which needs to be tested and
 integrated into the build/test tools:
