I'm trying to get php cs fixer plugin set kup properly for Visual Studio Code. I came across the a .php_cs.laravel.php file that is used for Laravel Shift for fixing common problems with their Laravel projects.
Should I place the .php_cs.laravel.php inside of my project files or place it inside of the .vscode directory as a global file. The reason why I ask is because I want to be able to use the same file for all of my Laravel specific projects.

@xtremer360 If you include it in the single project repo, all contributors can use a consistent style.
At the end, I think, it does not matter that much, if all projects follow the same style, but that each project has a consistent style for itself.
Thanks for your reply. I have it working so that when I use the extension to format the document it works according to the rules I’ve set, however I have the Format on Save option checked in the extension settings and it’s not going by the same rules
Actually I found out that it was another extentsion that somehow got set to auto sort imports on save.
