🔎 Artisan Browse

An interactive terminal UI for browsing, searching, and executing Laravel Artisan commands.

🔎 Artisan Browse provides an interactive terminal UI for discovering, searching, and executing all Laravel artisan commands. Instead of having to memorise command names, their arguments and flags, you can key through available commands, search by name or description, and be prompted for required args and options.

This is a perfect, lightweight tool for any Laravel dev that wants immediate command discovery and execution without having to search the docs, source dive or google furiously to find the right command. 💪

This will show only commands starting with make:, like make:model, make:controller, etc.

Configuration

Publish the config file and customise the following options:

return [
    // Commands to exclude from the browse list
    'blacklist_commands' => [
        // 'horizon', 'octane', 'sail'
    ],

    // Number of commands to show before enabling scroll
    'select_command_scroll' => 50,

    // Number of options to show before enabling scroll
    'select_options_scroll' => 20,

    // Show command preview before confirmation
    'show_command_preview' => true,

    // Search commands by name and description
    'search_descriptions' => true,

    // Auto-execute without confirmation prompt
    'auto_execute' => false,
