Description

CONTRIBUTING: move file to .github directory

... which is nowadays the more common location for this type of file.

Includes updating the link in the README file.

Ref: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors

Composer: add scripts for contributors

These scripts should make contributing to PHPCS more straight-forward as they document common CI checks and allow for running these locally.

CONTRIBUTING: rewrite the contributing guide

This is a rewrite of the CONTRIBUTING.md file to document expectations and opportunities for contributors.

It also answers some common questions previously received from contributors.

Thanks for this. The new guide seems clear and has a lot of good advice. 👍

[nit] I noticed two syntax mistakes while reading through.

I've been reading through the updated Markdown and it all seems good. Links seem to work, wording is clear and instructive.

Even though I've approved the PR I now realise this MR will probably break the link to the Contributing.md mentioned in the README.md (see https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer#contributing)

Good catch! Thanks for that. I've fixed that up in the commit which moves the file now.
