Laravel new command

The laravel new command!

The laravel new command is used to create a new Laravel project. Here's the basic syntax:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name

Replace project-name with the desired name of your new Laravel project.

Here's a breakdown of the options:

• composer: This is the command-line tool for managing dependencies in PHP projects.
• create-project: This is the command to create a new project.
• --prefer-dist: This option tells Composer to download the project in its most optimized form, which is faster and more efficient.
• laravel/laravel: This is the package name for the Laravel framework.
• project-name: This is the name of the new project.

When you run this command, Composer will download the Laravel framework and its dependencies, and then create a new project directory with the specified name. The project directory will contain the basic structure for a Laravel project, including the app, config, database, public, resources, and tests directories.

Here's an example of what the output might look like:

$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-new-project
Creating a "laravel/laravel" project at./my-new-project
Installing laravel/laravel (v8.40.0)
  - Installing laravel/laravel (v8.40.0): Downloading (100%)
Created project directory `my-new-project` successfully.

That's it! You now have a brand new Laravel project ready to go.
