Answer 3

Install Magento coding standard using following approach

1. composer require --dev magento/magento-coding-standard

when installed this way the Magento standard for phpcs cannot be added automatically. You can achieve this by adding the following to your project's composer.json

2.

 "scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
      "([ $COMPOSER_DEV_MODE -eq 0 ] || vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../../magento/magento-coding-standard/)"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
      "([ $COMPOSER_DEV_MODE -eq 0 ] || vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths ../../magento/magento-coding-standard/)"
    ]
}
