A Laravel package that bootstraps your project with preconfigured development tools via a single artisan command.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP ^8.3
- Laravel ^12.0

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require dev-to-geek/laravel-init --dev
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
php artisan laravel-init:install
```

This command will automatically install and configure the following tools:

- **Laravel Pint** -- Automated code formatting (with `pint.json` config).
- **Larastan** -- PHPStan + Larastan static analysis (with `phpstan.neon.dist` config).
- **Pest PHP** -- Modern testing framework with Mockery, Laravel and Livewire plugins.
- **Laravel Pail** -- Real-time log viewer.
- **Rector** -- Automated code refactoring (with `rector.php` config).
- **Laravel Boost** -- MCP Server for AI-assisted development.

No manual setup is required; everything is ready to use after running the command.

### Options

[](#options)

#### `--only` -- Install specific tools

[](#--only----install-specific-tools)

Install only the tools you need instead of the full suite:

```
# Install only Pint and Larastan
php artisan laravel-init:install --only=pint --only=larastan

# Install only Pest
php artisan laravel-init:install --only=pest
```

Valid tool names: `pint`, `larastan`, `pest`, `pail`, `rector`, `boost`.

#### `--force` -- Overwrite existing configuration files

[](#--force----overwrite-existing-configuration-files)

By default, existing configuration files (`pint.json`, `phpstan.neon.dist`, `rector.php`) are not overwritten. Use `--force` to replace them:

```
php artisan laravel-init:install --force
```

#### `--remove-me` -- Self-uninstall after setup

[](#--remove-me----self-uninstall-after-setup)

Remove the `laravel-init` package from your project after all tools have been installed:

```
php artisan laravel-init:install --remove-me
```

### Suggested composer scripts

[](#suggested-composer-scripts)

After installation, you can add these scripts to your `composer.json`:

```
"scripts": {
    "test": "@php artisan test",
    "test-coverage": "@php artisan test --parallel --coverage",
    "analyse": "vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=2G",
    "format": "vendor/bin/pint",
    "refactor": "vendor/bin/rector"
}
```
