Laravel pre-distribution clean up and package to zip project excluding files that don't need to be shipped

laravel-dist-cleanup.bash

#!/bin/bash
#This program automates creating a clean archive for public release of
#Laravel framework based application. For security, you will need to append .env-example to your final zip archive.
#For Windows with Ubuntu sub-system, create a .bat file called deploy.bat and append ./laravel-deploy.bash. 
#Then you can click on the .bat to run deployment script.
#
# The format of the final filename is myfile-mm-dd-YYYY-v1.zip. "v1" increments to v2 and so forth in consequent runs.
#

#Target filename
name="myfile"

#Target directory with no trailing slash!
target="/home/my-directory"
