A nice simple shell script for create a quick framework based project. Currently only supports Laravel, but will adapt with Silex another time

Quick Project

#!/bin/bash

function install_laravel() {

    echo "Installing Laravel into '$project_name'..."

    wget https://github.com/laravel/laravel/archive/master.zip ./

    unzip ./master.zip

    rm -rf ./master.zip*

    rm -rf ./$project_name/public

    rm -rf ./laravel-master/.git* ./laravel-master/CONTRIBUTING.md ./laravel-master/readme.md

    mv ./laravel-master/public ./$project_name/

    mv -f ./laravel-master/* ./$project_name/

    rm -rf ./laravel-master

    cd ./$project_name

    composer install

    return 1
}

echo "Project Name:"

read project_name

git clone https://github.com/jamiefdhurst/vagrant-dev.git $project_name

rm -rf ./$project_name/.git* ./$project_name/README.md

while true; do
    read -p "Software Stack: Laravel[L]:" software
    case $software in
        [Ll]* ) install_laravel $project_name; break;;
        * ) echo "Invalid software stack.";;
    esac
done

You know that you can do a laravel install via composer??

composer create-project laravel/laravel $project_name --prefer-dist

Think of it like git where $project_name is the folder name for a clone. This means that you can also just do . to install to current dir.

This is also documented here in the quick start guide http://laravel.com/docs/quick
