Setup a Laravel instance super-quickly in a "parked" directory (using Valet)

Laravalet

Valet already has made setting up a new Laravel install a breeze, so what is Laravalet for? My personal use-case is this:

• go to a directory where valet park was run before
• run laravalet my-project
• start coding

The script uses the laravel installer to create a new app, changes the databse-config to use sqlite and opens the app in a browser window. Comes in pretty handy if you want to try composer packages or just want to get started quickly.

##How to use

Navigate to your directory that is registered as a "Valet Park" and run the script like this:

• laravalet my-project to create a new directory
• laravalet . if you already created the directory.

You need to add laravalet as an alias to your shell, like this (zsh) alias laravalet="/path/to/script/laravalet.sh"

After using the laravel installer, doing some modifications to the .env-file (to use sqlite) and running npm install the script opens the folder 'my-project.dev'.
