Homestead PHP 7.4 Upgrade Guide (August 2020)

Hey folks! Let's do some ~~spring~~ fall cleaning! 🍂

If you work on apps using Homestead, please set aside some time within the next few sprints to follow this upgrade guide: we want to make sure everyone's environments are up to date and as close to production as possible.

Upgrade Guide

Upgrade Guide

To make sure you're using the latest and greatest, download the latest VirtualBox (5.2.22) and Vagrant (2.2.2).
