LaraUp automatically upgrades your old Laravel 4.2 project to 5.8

Usage

./laraup.sh PATH_TO_OLD_LARAVEL_4.2_PROJECT PATH_TO_NEW_LARAVEL_5.8_PROJECT

Example

./laraup.sh ../todo-app ../upgrade/todo-app5

Notes

LaraUp fixes pretty much any breaking changes except:

• We assume that you are using vlucas/phpdotenv to load the environment variables from .env in your Laravel 4.2 project. So we currently don't cover .env.X.php files in the upgrades. If you are not using vlucas/phpdotenv package in your project then start to use it on your project before running LaraUp.
• Moving from Filters to Middlewares is not fully automated yet so you need to do some manual fixes in your Controllers and Routes
• Anything in start/global.php is untouched so you might need to move them into register() method of AppServiceProvider
• Anywhere that checks detectEnvironment() or App::environment() needs a rework
