- What is laravel-shift/console used for?
- It provides terminal commands for running and managing Laravel Shift-style upgrade and code transformation workflows in a Laravel project. The package overview describes it as a set of useful commands to keep Laravel applications fresh. It is aimed at developers who want Shift-style tasks available from the command line.
- Does laravel-shift/console support Laravel 10 or Laravel 11?
- The provided v0.3.0 release note only states Laravel 8 compatibility and does not establish support for Laravel 9, 10, 11, or 12. You should inspect the package's Composer constraints and test it in staging before assuming support for newer Laravel versions. For modern Laravel applications, treat this package as unsupported until its documentation says otherwise.
- How do I install laravel-shift/console?
- Install it with Composer, but the provided overview and v0.3.0 release note do not document exact installation, configuration publishing, or service provider steps. Start with the repository README and run composer why-not laravel-shift/console in the target application to confirm Laravel and PHP constraints before installing.
- What PHP version does laravel-shift/console require?
- The provided materials do not state a PHP support matrix. Laravel 8 commonly implies PHP 7.3 through 8.1, so verify the package's composer.json PHP constraint before adoption. Do not assume PHP 8.2 or later support from the Laravel 8 compatibility note alone.
- Is laravel-shift/console production ready?
- The assessment treats v0.3.0 as a compatibility signal, not proof of production readiness. The package is pre-1.0, and the available evidence is only a Laravel 8 compatibility note with no code diff, CI matrix, or documentation. Gate production use on staging validation, passing tests, and documented support expectations.
- What changed in laravel-shift/console v0.3.0?
- The v0.3.0 release note only states Laravel 8 Compatibility. No code diff, changelog, Composer constraint changes, or breaking-change details were provided. Review the repository diff and release history before upgrading from an earlier package version.
- How should I test laravel-shift/console in a staging Laravel app?
- Pin v0.3.0, run composer why-not to check constraints, install in staging, and publish config or run migrations only if the package documentation requires it. Verify service provider and facade registration, clear config cache, and run the full application test suite. Prepare a rollback plan before any production canary rollout.
- What are alternatives to laravel-shift/console for Laravel upgrades?
- The provided materials do not list alternatives or compare this package with other upgrade tools. When evaluating options, compare each against your Laravel and PHP version matrix, documented support, test coverage, and maintenance activity. Prefer tools that explicitly support the Laravel versions you run.
- Is laravel-shift/console still maintained?
- Maintenance status is not confirmed by the provided materials; only a v0.3.0 Laravel 8 compatibility note is available. Check the GitHub release history, issue tracker activity, documentation quality, and maintainer responsiveness before adoption. Because it is pre-1.0, minor releases may include breaking changes.
- Can I use laravel-shift/console with Laravel 8 and PHP 8.2?
- Laravel 8 compatibility does not guarantee PHP 8.2 support. Laravel 8 commonly aligns with PHP 7.3 through 8.1, and the provided notes give no PHP constraint details. Check the package composer.json and run a staging install before relying on PHP 8.2.
