If we want to stop the php srtisan serve command, we can press CTRL+C on the terminal.

Link laravel project to GIT

After we have successfully run Laravel, then we will connect our Laravel project to GIT as the source code management, we can see that there is a .gitignore file that is automatically created by the Laravel project whose function is to tell which parts do not need to be committed to the Git repository .

Open terminal in your project then type git init then type git status type git add . after that we check the status again with the git status command then we commit our project with the command git commit -m ‘setup laravel project’ if you get a note: “please tell me who you are” you can do the command git config — global user.email “your email name” and git config — global user.name “your name” as shown below
