This is the code sniffer that scans only recently modified lines. Under the hood it uses PHPCS and just filter report to lines changed within particular commit. I have built this simple tool to support my Continuous Integration. It may turns out usefull for others struggling with large legacy code base.
composer require ayeo/sniffer
From your project root directory type:
./vendor/bin/sniff
