This command leverages Laravel Valet -- an open source development environment for Mac + *nix minimalists.
It runs various commands lightning fast, allowing you to spin up a site in your browser immediately after creating it, without any other configuration, all from a single command.
You should also understand how Valet works, especially the portion on Serving Sites.
-
MacOS users should install Homebrew first.
-
Follow the Valet installation instructions on the Laravel documentation to get started.
Note: Linux users should use Valet-linux instead, a fork of the original project that shares most of the same
