Our verdict on Laravel Pint
Laravel Pint is an open-source command-line formatter for PHP code, maintained for Laravel applications and packages. It suits Laravel teams and PHP developers who want consistent formatting through presets, configurable rules, and repeatable project workflows. Pint can format files, check formatting without modifying them, exclude folders and filename patterns, and optionally process Blade templates.
Pint is distributed as open-source software and is installed through Laravel applications or Composer. Its formatting behavior can use Laravel and other presets while still supporting configurable PHP-CS-Fixer rules. That gives teams a focused way to apply an opinionated baseline without giving up rule-level control. Git-aware options can target changed or uncommitted files, and parallel processing supports workflows that need formatting across multiple files. These capabilities make Pint a practical fit for projects that want formatting checks integrated into development and continuous integration.
GitHub Actions is the listed integration, allowing Pint to participate in CI workflows. It can check formatting without changing files, which is useful when a workflow should identify style issues rather than rewrite code. Optional Blade support extends its use beyond PHP files in Laravel projects. The main boundary is platform coverage: Linux is the verified platform. Choose Pint when your project is Laravel- or PHP-focused, uses Linux, and benefits from Composer-based command-line tooling. Teams working across other operating systems or seeking broader language coverage should consider a formatter aligned with those requirements instead.
