Mike Bronner has a new post on Medium.com about installing PHPCI on a Laravel Homestead instance and have it able to execute your builds.

PHPCI is a nifty little swiss-army-knife for your development toolbox. [...] It will monitor your source repositories for changes, and trigger a new build when it sees activity. Then it will let you know if anything went wrong or can be improved. This comes in handy to improve your code quality and minimize errors and issues down the road. In the following section we’ll go through the process of installing PHPCI in Homestead.

He goes through the full process of getting the necessary software installed and all of the commands you'll need to:

• Adding the PHPCI database
• Clone the PHPCI code
• Configure the PHPCI install
• Set up the cron to run automatic builds
• Configure MySQL
• Set up the Homestead instance for the new PHPCI site

On the SitePoint PHP blog a new tutorial has been posted from Peter Nijssen showing how to install and configure PHP-CI, a continuous integration library for PHP.

Creating an application is one thing. Keeping it to a certain quality level is another thing entirely. These days, you can find many tools which can help you to keep the quality of your application in shape. Running these tools one by one can be very time consuming. For that, you can install so called continuous integration (CI) services. PHPCI is one of those and in this article, we will dive into it.

The article links you to the latest release and how to install all needed dependencies via Composer. With it set up, they help you add a project and run a sample build. The configuration includes execution of the unit tests, PHP mess detector, PHP code sniffer, CPD, docblock checker and the PHP lines-of-code toolset.
