setup a laravel5 project to deploy to a shared hosting provider

laravel5_shared_hosting_project.sh

#!/bin/bash

myproject='myproject'
mywww='public_html'

# initialize project
composer create-project laravel/laravel $myproject --prefer-dist
cd $myproject

# fix paths to public
for f in server.php storage/framework/compiled.php; do
    perl -pi -e "s|/public|/../${mywww}|" $f
done

# this regex needs to be executed every time the vendor code is updated
oldstr="\$this->basePath.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'public'"
newstr="dirname(\$this->basePath).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'${mywww}'"
sed -i '' "s|${oldstr}|${newstr}|" vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php

# fix path to bootstrap
perl -pi -e "s|/bootstrap|/${myproject}/bootstrap|" public/index.php

# rename the public folder to match hosting providers web root
mv public $mywww

# create a directory for everything except the public directory
mkdir $myproject

# move stuff to app dir
mv {app,bootstrap,config,database,resources,storage,tests,vendor,artisan,.env*,*.js*,*.lock,*.php,*.xml,*.yml} $myproject

# use artisan to remove the compiled app
cd $myproject
php artisan clear-compiled

Great script, works just fine! Thank you.
