We can build up a nice development workflow using a helper bash script.

This makes running command witin our Docker container super easy. Running all of those docker-compose commands are a real pain!

We also move our application files up a level so the Docker files are all within the same directory.

I don't show this in the repository for this video series, as I don't want to pin a specific Laravel version to it, but it's easy to change as I show in the video!

develop Script

We can make a bash helper, which I name develop:

touch develop
chmod +x develop

And we can start our develop helper with simply this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

We'll add useful items to it in the next video.
