laravel: Overwrite if the directory already exists.
$ laravel new ${name} --force
try on your machine

This command is used in Laravel, a PHP framework, to create a new Laravel application with a specified name.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • laravel new: This is the command used to create a new Laravel application.
  • ${name}: This is a placeholder for the application name. You need to replace ${name} with the actual name you want to give to your application. For example, if you want to name your application "example", you would replace ${name} with example. The resulting command would be laravel new example.
  • --force: This is an optional flag that can be included with the command. When --force is used, it will automatically install the Laravel application, even if the directory specified for the application name already exists. This flag is useful when you want to overwrite an existing directory and start fresh with a new Laravel application.

To summarize, the command laravel new ${name} --force is used to create a new Laravel application with a specified name, and the --force flag is used to overwrite an existing directory if necessary.
