[Tutorial] How to work with Laravel projects on github

[leokhoa]

Laragon bundles composer, nodejs, npm, git & git flow so there should be no problem if you want to work with projects on github.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to work with Laravel 5 Boilerplate Project: https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate

1. Open Terminal (Menu > Laragon > Terminal or press CTRL + ALT + T)
2. Clone the repo to Document Root and cd to it:

git clone https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate
cd laravel-5-boilerplate

3. Run composer & npm to install all dependencies:

composer install
npm install 

4. Create database for the project: Menu > MySQL > Create database
   for example: laravel-5-boilerplate
5. Create your .env from .env.example

cp .env.example .env

6. Update your .env (change database connection properly)

DB_CONNECTION=mysql          
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1            
DB_PORT=3306                 
DB_DATABASE=laravel-5-boilerplate       
DB_USERNAME=root             
DB_PASSWORD=                 

7. Generate application key

php artisan key:generate

8. Init data to database

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

9. Build the styles and scripts

npm run <command>

The available commands are listed at the top of the package.json file under the 'scripts' key.

10. Storage:link
    After your project is installed you must run this command to link your public storage folder for user avatar uploads:

php artisan storage:link

11. PHPUnit (for https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate)
    After your project is installed, make sure you run the test suite to make sure all of the parts are working correctly. From the root of your project run:

phpunit

12. Login (for https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate)
    After your project is installed and you can access it in a browser, click the login button on the right of the navigation bar.

The administrator credentials are:

Username: admin@admin.com
Password: secret

That's all forks!
Now, Reload Apache & you can browser the project at: http://laravel-5-boilerplate.test
