Building the PHAR

Development Workflow

1. Scaffold: tusk init my-app
2. Develop: Edit controllers, services
3. Test: tusk run public/index.php
4. Deploy: Use Docker Compose or native server

Tips

• Use --type=micro for microservice projects (includes health checks)
• The generated docker-compose.yml includes MySQL by default
• Edit composer.json to add dependencies
