• Set permission and run shell script file
• You may check the version

$ chmod 755 setupcomposer.sh

$ ./setupcomposer.sh 
[sudo] password for cham11ng: 
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...

Composer (version 1.3.1) successfully installed to: /usr/bin/composer
Use it: php /usr/bin/composer

$ composer --version
Composer version 1.3.1 2017-01-07 18:08:51

$ sudo chown -R <username>:<username> ~/.composer

Change Ownership from root to username

Laravel Setup

$ composer global require "laravel/installer" -vvv

Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system.

ie. add the following line at the end of ~/.bashrc

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

You need to reboot your .bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

Once installed, the laravel new command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance, laravel new blog will create a directory named blog containing a fresh Laravel installation with all of Laravel's dependencies already installed. This method of installation is much faster than installing via Composer:

laravel new blog

Yarn Setup

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

• You will also need to configure the NodeSource repository to get a new enough version of Node.js

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn

redis.md

Redis Install

Installing Redis on an Ubuntu. Run the command below to install Redis on your machine:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

If you are planning on using Redis as an object cache for PHP-based application, you need to install the following package too:

sudo apt-get install php-redis

Configure Redis as a cache on Ubuntu 16.04

To configure Redis as a cache you need to edit the /etc/redis/redis.conf file. We will use nano as a text editor for this purpose, but you can use any text editor of your choice.

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

To configure the max memory for Redis as well as how Redis will select what to remove when the max memory is reached, add the following lines at the end of the file:

maxmemory 128mb
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru

In this example, Redis will remove any key according to the LRU algorithm when the max memory of 128mb is reached. Save and close the file, then restart the Redis service:

sudo systemctl restart redis-server.service

Next, enable Redis on system boot:

sudo systemctl enable redis-server.service

setup-composer.sh

#!/bin/sh

EXPECTED_SIGNATURE=$(wget -q -O - https://composer.github.io/installer.sig)
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
ACTUAL_SIGNATURE=$(php -r "echo hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php');")

if [ "$EXPECTED_SIGNATURE" != "$ACTUAL_SIGNATURE" ]
then
    >&2 echo 'ERROR: Invalid installer signature'
    rm composer-setup.php
    exit 1
fi

sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer
RESULT=$?
rm composer-setup.php
exit $RESULT

shell-aliases.md

Create Important aliases for your shell for developer

• Open Terminal Ctrl + Alt + T

sudo apt install xclip
vim ~/.bash_aliases

• Add this line

For linux,

alias sshkey="cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | xclip -selection clipboard && echo 'Public SSH copied to clipboard.'"

For mac,

alias sshkey="cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy && echo 'Public SSH copied to clipboard.'"

• Save the file, you'll need to "reboot" the aliases

source ~/.bash_aliases

• Now you can user sshkey to copy id_rsa.pub

• Then simply Ctrl + V

Some of my aliases

alias sshkey="cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | xclip -selection clipboard && echo 'Public SSH copied to clipboard.'"

alias gs="git status"
alias gsl="git stash list"
alias ga="git add"
alias gaa="git add ."
alias gc="git commit"
alias gl="git log --oneline --graph"
alias glf="git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"
alias nah="git reset --hard; git clean -df;"
alias co="git checkout"

alias art="php artisan"
alias serve="php artisan serve"
alias tinker="php artisan tinker"
alias migrate="php artisan migrate"
alias routes="php artisan route:list"

alias update="sudo apt update"
alias upgrade="sudo apt full-upgrade"
alias list="apt list --upgradable"

alias pclear="php artisan optimize && php artisan cache:clear && php artisan config:clear && php artisan route:clear && php artisan view:clear"

Don't forget to reboot aliaes

source ~/.bash_aliases
