Configuration

You can configure the PsySH shell by setting options via the shellConfig variable in the controller, i.e. add this to your console application configuration:

'controllerMap' => [
    'shell' => [
        'shellConfig' => [
            'updateCheck' => 'weekly',
            'verbosity' => \Psy\Configuration::VERBOSITY_VERBOSE,
        ],
    ],
],

See https://github.com/bobthecow/psysh/wiki/Config-options for a list of PsySH configurable options.

Note: updateCheck is explictly set to never by yii2-shell. All other PsySH options use default values.
