+# Upgrading from 2.x to 3.0
+
+The main backward compatibility break in lmc/coding-standard version 3.0 is new PHP format used for
+code-style configuration. However, the changes are mostly "mechanical" and most of them can be automated.
+
+### 1. Update dependency in composer.json
+In require-dev section change the version constraint:
+
+```diff
+-        "lmc/coding-standard": "^2.1",
++        "lmc/coding-standard": "^3.0",
+```
+
+Then run `composer update`.
+
+### 2. Change your easy-coding-standard.yaml
+Remove import section (otherwise the migration in step 3. won't work):
+```diff
+-imports:
+-    - { resource: 'vendor/lmc/coding-standard/easy-coding-standard.yaml' }
+```
+
+### 3. Automatically migrate config from `easy-coding-standard.yaml` to `ecs.php`
+Run following commands:
+
+```sh
+composer require symplify/config-transformer --dev
+vendor/bin/config-transformer switch-format easy-coding-standard.yaml --input-format yaml --output-format php
+mv easy-coding-standard.php ecs.php # rename to ecs.php
+composer remove symplify/config-transformer --dev # the migration tool can now be removed again
+```
+
+### 4. Add import of the base `ecs.php` from lmc/coding-standard
+
+Because of the nature of how ECS process the configuration (which is, in fact, the behavior of underlying
+symfony/dependency-injection), you must follow the order in which you add your customizations.
+
+In your `ecs.php` add import of the lmc/coding-standard **after** you add `skip` parameter but **before** your custom code-style ajdustements:
+
+```diff
+// ...
+return static function (ContainerConfigurator $containerConfigurator): void {
+    $parameters = $containerConfigurator->parameters();
+
+    // Your skips - excluding fixers of paths must be placed BEFORE the import
+    $parameters = $containerConfigurator->parameters();
+    $parameters->set(Option::SKIP, [__DIR__ . '/foo/bar']);
+
++    $containerConfigurator->import(__DIR__. '/vendor/lmc/coding-standard/ecs.php');
+
+    // Your code style customizations and overrides of the default code-style must be placed AFTER the import
+    $services->set(PhpUnitExpectationFixer::class)
+        ->call('configure', [['target' => '5.6']]);
+};
+```
+
+### 5. Configuration updates
+
+There are also few changes in configuration properties. The most notable is `skip` parameter,
+which is used for all path and sniff exclusions. So values from previous `skip`, `exclude_files` should all be merged into `skip`.
+
+```diff
++use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Option;
+
+return static function (ContainerConfigurator $containerConfigurator): void {
+    $parameters = $containerConfigurator->parameters();
+
+-    $parameters->set('skip', [ForbiddenFunctionsSniff::class => ['src-tests/bootstrap.php']]);
+-    $parameters->set('exclude_files', ['src/foo/bar.php']);
++    $parameters->set(Option::SKIP, [
++            ForbiddenFunctionsSniff::class => ['src-tests/bootstrap.php'],
++            'src/foo/bar.php',
++        ]
++    );
+
+    $containerConfigurator->import(__DIR__ . '/vendor/lmc/coding-standard/ecs.php');
+};
+
+```
+
+See [ECS documentation](https://github.com/symplify/easy-coding-standard/tree/master#configuration) for more configuration options.
+
+### 6. Sanity check
+Besides running your code style checks, you can ensure all predefined LMC checks are loaded as well, by running:
+
+```sh
+vendor/bin/ecs show
+```
+
+The result should end with something like:
+```
+ [OK] Loaded 164 checkers in total
+```
+
+(or some close number, depending on your custom code-style settings).
