Custom stubs remove the down() method by default. Remove the custom stubs to use Laravel's default templates.

Add your own helpers in app/Helpers.php:

if (! function_exists('example')) { function example(): string { return 'Your helper function here.'; } }

alias larament="composer create-project --prefer-dist CodeWithDennis/larament" larament my-project

Add this to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or shell configuration file:

function larament() { local cmd="$1" shift case "$cmd" in new) if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then return 1 fi local project_name="$1" composer create-project --prefer-dist CodeWithDennis/larament "$project_name" || return 1 cd "$project_name" || return 1 # Update APP_URL in .env if [[ -f ".env" ]]; then sed -i '' "s|^APP_URL=.*|APP_URL=https://${project_name}.test|" .env fi herd link --secure && herd open ;; *) return 1 ;; esac }

Usage:

larament new my-project
