Best Excel creation lib for PHP

Recommended Code Review Plugin for Github?
Depends on what you mean by plugin, but a GrumPHP is a great tool. It registers a pre-commit git hook that runs whatever quality tools you've configured every time someone commits. If one of the checks fail, the commit is aborted. It's very easy to install and configure.
