Thanks cjonstrup !

For newbie, don't forget to register that command before use it :
http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/commands#registering-commands

Thanks so much!
It's really useful and save my time.

Thanks sir, you rock!

Don't you miss continuing on .gitignore file? Or doesn't it get listed because it's a hidden dot file?

Shouldn't this be a PR to Laravel?

That's really helpful for me ! Thx !
