Symfony 3 and later
In the Symfony 3 Standard Edition, the purpose of the bin
directory has been slightly changed. Binaries from Composer packages (such as phpunit
) are no longer installed in the bin
directory, but in vendor/bin
. Instead, the bin
directory contains the console
and optionally some other binaries that come with the Symfony skeleton.
Because these files should be committed to your Git repository, you should no longer have the bin
directory in your .gitignore
file.
