If you are doing any modern PHP dev on Mac, check out the Laravel ecosystem, especially «Laravel Valet». It makes things so easy, you get a myapp.test served locally. 🤩

• Install php and composer via brew.
• Edit your .zshrc (or equivalent) to add php and .composer/vendor/bin to your system path.
• cd into your local PHP project.
• Run valet link myapp and valet secure myapp.
• Access your app via https://myapp.test.
• Profit.

You can run Laravel Forge to connect, say, a Digital Ocean droplet to a git repo, so that when you push to master, Forge will just deploy to the server for you. So, do your dev locally via valet in a feature branch, then merge to master and Boom!
