Herd

Herd is a blazing fast, native Laravel and PHP development environment for
macOS. It includes everything you need to get started with Laravel development,
including PHP and nginx. Once you install Herd, you're ready to start developing
with Laravel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FEATURES


THE FASTEST ENVIRONMENT AROUND

Herd uses static binaries for PHP, nginx, and dnsmasq, making it faster than
other PHP development environments.

Using Herd, you can immediately enjoy 35% faster tests and 100% faster web
requests.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

Herd includes binaries for Composer, the Laravel installer, and Expose, making
them available to your CLI automatically.

Keep managing your sites and services directly from your terminal, just like
Laravel Valet.


SEAMLESS MIGRATION FROM VALET

Using Laravel Valet? Herd automatically migrates your existing Valet preferences
so that you can keep working without interruption.

You can manage the configuration via its intuitive UI, including PHP versions
and SSL certificates.

BLAZING FAST DEBUGGING

Herd Pro gives you a powerful interface to help you watch and collect your debug
information.

All of your application's dump() and dd() calls will be beautifully formatted
and can be filtered from Herd's separate Dump window.

Just keep using dump() as usual – we will take care of the rest.

Route::get('/', function () {
    dump(config('app.name'));
    dump(auth()->user());
});
