Awesome Laravel Bash Aliases

🚀 Curated list of useful Laravel bash aliases that will make your work easier. This list is not recommending that you use all aliases below, only those you may find useful in your Laravel Development lifecycle.

Inspiration

Working with bash in daily life, it is very irritating writing the same command multiple times. To avoid that we write aliases/snippets for bashrc and make our life easier.

This is a list of useful bash aliases that I've seen in use at Laravel conferences or organized events over the years.

How To Use Aliases

First, open up the ~/.bashrc file in a text editor that is found in your home directory. Uncomment or add the following lines:

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
fi

This tells it to load a .bash_aliases file, if it exists, so you can put all your aliases in it and make them easier to share and keep up with. Finally, create the ~/.bash_aliases file and add the following as your first alias:

alias art="php artisan"

Save the file and type the following in the terminal:

source ~/.bashrc

From here on you should be able to type art and it’ll auto expand into php artisan. Just remember that every time you modify the bash_aliases file you’ll need to either run that source command or restart Terminal so the changes are picked up.
