Laravel is an open-source framework whose utility is to develop web applications and services using one of the most popular languages on the internet: PHP. Laravel's philosophy is quite simple: develop PHP code elegantly and focus on simplicity, thus avoiding spaghetti code.
When we say "spaghetti code" we mean something that, in its construction, resembles a plate of pasta. It is a derogatory way of naming complex flow structure control programming code as if it were a bunch of strings, dating back to the 1960s.
One of the intentions of Laravel and its developers is to take advantage of the best of other frameworks, as well as the features of the latest versions of the PHP programming language.

We are going to walk through some of the commands that facilitate development in Laravel, which run in Artisan, the command line interface of this framework.
Basic commands:
