The inspiration for this comes from https://gist.github.com/jhoff/8fbe4116d74931751ecc9e8203dfb7c4

The following code gives you auto-complete for artisan commands in a BASH shell. Just add to your ~/.bash_profile. If you want a faster auto-complete, run art_cache from your project root to get a cached file of commands. To remove this file just run art_cache clear. If you haven't created a cache file, the script uses artisan list to get the command list dynamically (but this is a lot slower).

export ARTISAN_CMDS_FILE=bootstrap/cache/artisan-cmds.txt

function _artisan() {
    COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}

Local Dev Setup Heroku / Nodejs / Parse / Mongodb on macOS

I recently started doing some collaborative development work on a Heroku nodejs application that uses Parse Server with MongoDB. Even though at times it's important to share an online database for testing etc, I found I really wanted to recreate the setup locally. This would mean not having to git push heroku master every time I did the smallest code update, waiting a minute or more for the application to be compiled and deployed on heroku. As a corollary, I can do my work locally in an isolated feature branch, test locally, then merge and push when happy.

This document outlines how I set things up on my Macbook Pro, running Catalina 10.15.4.

Git

You probably already have it, but if not I use homebrew
