Manually update files

• Open your package.json and replace dev script with:

    "dev": "concurrently \"npm run watch\" \"php artisan serve\" --kill-others",

• Open your layout blade file and add:

    <link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

• Add to your .gitignore

/public/css/app.css
/public/js/app.js
/public/mix-manifest.json
