Laravel, Valet, and PHP

Add a Laravel project

Logs

Rig does not replace Valet or PhpStorm. Valet keeps serving{" "} *.test; Rig runs the rest of the stack and tails Laravel logs.

storage/logs/laravel.log can stream into the same pane as Node processes. Filter by service when debugging.

• Point Rig at the Laravel root (folder with artisan / Composer).
• Confirm Valet URL detection — Open site uses the *.test host.
• Start artisan sidecars: queue, horizon, schedule, reverb as needed.
• Run Composer install / migrate as one-shots from Rig when offered.

laravel valet php .test herd horizon queue artisan logs php-fpm composer
