A bookmarkable, searchable cheatsheet for Laravel's Artisan commands.

Generation

Artisan.page is a static Nuxt site fed by one JSON file per Laravel major version, under assets/<version>.x.json. Those files are produced by a GitHub Actions workflow that spins up a disposable Laravel install for each version, introspects its registered Artisan commands, and commits the result back to the repo.

The workflow

.github/workflows/process-artisan-commands.yml runs on push to master, pull requests, manual dispatch, and on a schedule (three times a day). Its steps:

1. Discover Laravel versions. Fetches the Laravel package metadata from Packagist and derives { v, php } pairs for each major release — e.g. { v: "13", php: "8.3" }.
2. Fan out. A matrix job runs once per version.
3. Install Laravel. composer create-project laravel/laravel="^<version>" into /tmp/laravel, configured with the matching platform.php.
4. Add first-party package feeds. Registers nova.laravel.com and spark.laravel.com as Composer repositories and authenticates them using NOVA_USERNAME / NOVA_LICENSE_KEY / SPARK_USERNAME / SPARK_API_TOKEN secrets.
5. Require the package set for that version. Reads manifest.json to decide which of Nova, Spark, Horizon, Pulse, Sanctum, Passport, Livewire, Inertia, etc. belong in that version's install, and runs composer require for each one. Failures are tolerated so a single broken package doesn't fail the whole build.
6. Run build.php. Boots the freshly-installed Laravel app, asks its console kernel for the full command list, and serialises each command's name, description, synopsis, aliases, arguments, and options to JSON.
7. Commit. The resulting assets/<version>.x.json is committed back to master with [skip ci] so it doesn't trigger the workflow again.

manifest.json

Controls what gets installed per Laravel version. The packages array is the full catalog; configuration.<version> is the subset to composer require for that version. Add or remove entries here to change what a given version's command list includes.

build.php

A small script that resolves Laravel's Console\Kernel, iterates its registered commands, deduplicates by name, and emits a JSON array. It's copied into the disposable /tmp/laravel install at runtime — it does not run in this repo directly.

Running it locally

You normally shouldn't need to — the CI job is the source of truth. If you want to regenerate a version manually, the fastest path is workflow_dispatch from the Actions tab.
