There are a few standard modifications that I like to make to laravel projects as I create them. This automates the process:
- Removed compiled asset (css, js) files from version control
- Include some utility scripts to upload asset files, do caching, and show a visualization
- Set some additional standard entries in .env
- Include standard npm and composer packages
- Create a version, readme, changelog, etc.
- Set up to use https in production
