Creating a Project
Click New Project to open the New Project modal. There you choose the project name and the PHP version the site will run on, then pick one of four creation modes.
Creation modes
Blank
Creates a folder under C:\laraenv\www\<name> containing a starter index.php. Use this for a plain PHP or static site.
Laravel
Runs composer create-project to install a fresh Laravel application, automatically sets up its database, and runs npm install where applicable so the frontend tooling is ready.
WordPress
Downloads the WordPress ZIP, generates a wp-config.php, and creates a MySQL database for the site.
Git clone
Clones an existing repository from an HTTPS or SSH URL.
- For HTTPS URLs, just paste the URL.
- For SSH URLs, you can pick one of your saved SSH keys to authenticate — see SSH keys.
During creation
A progress UI shows the creation phases as they run (downloading, installing dependencies, setting up the database, and so on).
When it finishes, the project appears in the Projects list with its virtual host and hosts-file entry already in place, ready to open in the browser.
The PHP version you choose in the modal can be changed later at any time in the project's configuration.
