Laravel Herd

#

Herd is a local development environment for PHP developers and while it's optimized for Laravel development, it works great with many popular applications and frameworks.

When you install Herd, it makes the expose command available in your PATH automatically, so you only need to set up your token and you are ready to go.

Expose and Herd are both tools by Beyond Code and so they have awareness of each other when both are installed.

Setup

#

Instead of setting up your Expose token via the command line, Herd provides a GUI for this in the settings.

Sharing sites

#

When using Herd with Expose, you can use the herd share command instead if running expose. This can detect custom URLs on your machine and automatically share the correct local URL of your working directory
