artisan.php

// Adding this to your app/artisan.php file will
// do a quick confirmation that you really do want 
// to run this command when in production environment

if (App::environment() === 'production') {
    echo "\033[0;33m======== WARNING ========\n";
    echo "===== IN PRODUCTION =====\n";
    echo "=========================\n";
    echo "Are you sure you want to do this?  (y/n)\033[0m ";

    $line = fgets(STDIN);
    if(trim($line) != 'y'){
        echo "\033[0;32mABORTING... few!\033[0m\n";
        exit;
    }
    echo "\n";
    echo "\033[0;32mThank you, continuing...\033[0m\n";
}
