1️⃣ Requirements

• Mandatory:

  • PHP 7.3 or higher
  • Composer

  Make sure to place Composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your $PATH so the laravel-assembler executable can be located by your system. This directory exists in different locations based on your operating system; however, some common locations include:

  • macOS: $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
  • GNU / Linux Distributions: $HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin or $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

• Optional:

  • GitHub CLI with your user properly logged in: to create the repository for your new project -- the logged in user is going to be the owner of the repo.
  • gitflow-avh: to start git flow in your project.
  • Laravel Valet: to set up a SSL certificate and open the project in the browser automatically.
  • Jetbrains CLI's Launcher for a standalone instance: if you wish to open the project immediately on PhpStorm.

2️⃣ Installation

composer global require igorsgm/laravel-assembler

3️⃣ 🚀 Creating a new project

laravel-assembler new my-cool-project-name

• It will ask you a few questions during the process to help you get started and generate a new laravel project accordingly to your preferences.
• When the script finishes you should have a my-cool-project-name folder the path that you run your script.
• Voilà!
