php console serve command

It might be worth documenting the php console serve command, it's a nice alternative if you don't use Homestead.
Here is how Laravel documents it on their Installation page.

Indeed but in my tests, you still need to create a MySQL database on the side to make it work properly.

Yes, unlike using something like Homestead it doesn't provide a full development environment.
But it's a lot easier than having to manage a bunch of vhost configuration files, and a lot cleaner than putting all your projects in xampp/htdocs and getting ugly urls like localhost/themosis/htdocs.
