Symfony MakerBundle

Symfony MakerBundle generates PHP code for Symfony projects through commands in the `make:` namespace. It can create commands, controllers, form classes, tests, and other code to reduce boilerplate. The bundle requires no configuration by default, though its settings can be overridden, and generated PHP files are formatted with php-cs-fixer. The `make:entity` command requires `doctrine/orm` to be installed and configured; it supports ORM but not ODM. Developers can add commands by extending `AbstractMaker` and registering the class as a `maker.command` service. Generated code generally cannot be modified, so the documentation recommends creating a custom maker when changes are needed. Symfony source code is released under the MIT license. The bundle is installed with Composer as a development dependency and costs nothing. Symfony directs users to report security issues privately; for confirmed vulnerabilities, its core team prepares a patch, obtains a CVE identifier, and publishes an announcement. The documentation directs extension-point requests to an issue.
