SYNOPSIS

lambo new [options] namelambo edit-config|edit-after|help

lambo is a "super-powered laravel new" for Laravel and Valet. It creates a Laravel application and then performs common setup steps with a single command.After running laravel new, it initializes a Git repository with an initial commit, sets the database credentials and APP_URL in .env and .env.example (using the Valet TLD), generates an app key, and opens the project in your editor and browser.Defaults can be stored in ~/.lambo/config (lambo edit-config), and a Bash script in ~/.lambo/after (lambo edit-after) runs after each project is created.

CAVEATS

The project is archived and no longer maintained, so it may not support current Laravel releases or starter kits; the official laravel new installer now covers most of its features. Requires PHP and Composer, and is designed around macOS with Laravel Valet.

HISTORY

lambo was created by Matt Stauffer at Tighten to speed up Laravel project initialization. It started as a shell script and was later rewritten in PHP using Laravel Zero; the GitHub repository is now archived (last commit in 2023).
