Composer

One thing I notice quite often is that .gitattributes are forgotten, now I actually did this myself… I am a maintainer for laravel-dom-assertions and it wasn’t until recently I realised that we were shipping out a loadddd of stuff the end user didn’t need. What is .gitattributes Essentially, The .gitattributes file is a text file in Git that defines how specific files in a repository should be handled, such as how they’re exported, and what line endings to use etc.. ...

So, I often set the laravel/framework version in composer to 13.x-dev (13.x being the current branch). This means I can quickly test the latest and greatest features without waiting for the official release! You’ll have to run a composer update after making the change, but it’s really useful to check commits that’ve been merged in that you want to verify, or there’s new features you want to play around with before they land in a tagged release. ...
