I spent more than a few hours this weekend investigating laravel deployment
options. I have an existing personal app I’ve been working on but, until now,
I’ve been developing it in Homestead and haven’t really put much thought in to
where I would deploy it.
Over the past couple of years, becoming comfortable with Linux has been one of
the most valuable things I’ve done as a web developer and I’m always looking
for ways to learn more. Diving in to shell scripting has been on the to-do
list for a while now so here’s a case where I had an opportunity to automate a
simple task with a couple of bash scripts.
