Laravel Starter Builder

CLI project generator for Laravel 9–13 and PHP 8.0–8.5. Inspired by Spring Initializr, the Laravel installer, and modern full-stack scaffolding.

php laravel-starter new shop --php=8.0 --frontend=blade --database=sqlite --dry-run
php laravel-starter new shop --laravel=10 --php=8.2 --frontend=blade --database=sqlite --dry-run
php laravel-starter new shop --laravel=13 --frontend=blade --database=sqlite --architecture=mvc-service --dry-run
php laravel-starter new shop --preset=basic --no-interaction
php laravel-starter features
php laravel-starter patterns
php laravel-starter validate --config=starter.yaml

--php sets the generated project’s PHP version. Every feature is available on PHP 8.0–8.5.

Generate only what you select. No unused packages, directories, or patterns.
