churn-php is a PHP command-line tool that identifies files in a project that are good candidates for refactoring. It scores each PHP file by combining its git commit frequency with its cyclomatic complexity and displays the results in a table.

Use cases

• find php files that need refactoring
• identify high-churn high-complexity files in my codebase
• measure cyclomatic complexity of php files
• add code quality checks to continuous integration
• prioritize technical debt cleanup in a php project
• find which files change most often in git

When to choose

• you maintain a PHP 7.1+ codebase and want to prioritize refactoring efforts
• you want a simple CI-integrated score combining git churn and complexity
• you prefer a standalone phar or Composer dev dependency

When to avoid

• your project is not written in PHP
• you need full static analysis or automated fixes rather than refactoring hints
• you expect the tool to decide what to refactor for you - it only assists judgment
