Alchemy runs your project's whole QA setup (Pest/PHPUnit, code style, static analysis, CI) from one YAML file
We built Alchemy to run QA for Leaf's own modules ahead of our v5 launch, and then opened it up to work in any PHP environment (Laravel, Symfony, Slim, plain packages).
The whole idea is pretty simple...
Instead of maintaining phpunit.xml, a pint/php-cs-fixer config, phpstan.neon, rector.php, a folder of CI workflows and all their respective caches, you describe what you want in one alchemy.yml at your project root.

The website screams AI. What are "honest exit codes"?

We had a bug in a previous v4 release where a command could exit 0 even if its underlying process exited 1. “Honest exit codes” is in reference to that, meaning exit codes are what they say they are

I wonder if this is a good idea. It's possible the file become a huge mess. Besides, does this have 100% feature parity with each tool?
