Downloads new lessons and series from laracasts if there are updates. Or the whole catalogue.

Working good at 10/11/2018

Description

Syncs your local folder with the laracasts website, when there are new lessons the app download it for you. If your local folder is empty, all lessons and series will be downloaded!

A .skip file is used to prevent downloading deleted lessons for these with space problems. Thanks to @vinicius73

Just call php makeskips.php before deleting the lessons.

An account with an active subscription is necessary!

Even to download free lessons or series. The download option is only allowed to users with a valid subscription.
