psysh is a modern interactive PHP shell (REPL) that provides a powerful developer console with syntax highlighting, tab completion, and inline documentation. It allows executing PHP code interactively, inspecting variables, and testing snippets without creating script files.
PsySH also functions as a runtime debugger when integrated into applications. By calling `eval(\Psy\sh())` in code, developers can drop into an interactive debugging session with access to the current scope's variables and context. It serves as the foundation for Laravel's tinker command.
