Create a package

php artisan make:package

Create a nova tool

php artisan make:nova

Add a package

php artisan package:add

If you have already created a package or you want to add a modified version of a package which is currently only available locally, you can use the following command to add you package to your project. It does simply add your package to your project`s composer repositories and requires a local version of it.

This command is run by make:package automatically, so you have no need to execute it after creating a package!

Save package credentials

php artisan package:save
				{namespace : Root namespace of the package (Vendor\Package_name)}
				{path : Relative path to the package's directory}

Every package:* command needs to know the package's namespace and the relative path to the location your package is stored. Because of that every package:* command comes with those two options by default. To avoid entering those two options every time a package:* command executed this command saves the credentials of your package in the cache.

Delete package credentials

php artisan package:delete

This one wipes all stored credentials from your cache.

Clone a package

php artisan package:clone
                {src : Source path of the package to clone}
                {target : Path where it should be cloned in}

The clone command clones a given repository or directory into the given target.

Replace Content

php artisan package:replace 
                {path : The path to a file or directory}
                {--O|old=* : Old strings which will be replaced}
                {--N|new=* : New strings which will be used as replacement}'

The replace command takes a path of a file or a directory and an indefinite number of 'old' options which will be replaced by the 'new' options.
