spatie.be VS ohmyzsh

How do you debug your code in PHP? Do you use var_dump or dd in Laravel? Many of us also use logger to log output & figure out the problem in multiple steps. Spatie built a debugging tool called Ray that one can use to simplify the operation over dd or logger.

When in comes to Laravel packages, the guys at Spatie are probably the kings. They have hundreds of free packages you can pick from and use into your projects. Hats down for their commitment and contribution to this beautiful ecosystem.

In this article, we'll be using the Laravel Permission package from Spatie.

I'm thinking to make it as a software license, one-time payment with one year updates, as spatie.be do.

Ray by Spatie - Debugger tool

We use Oh Dear from spatie.be to check availability, dead links, certs and more for our critical FQDNs. Works perfectly fine. we also see it as a way to give something back to them in return for all their hard work in maintaining their open-source packages for Laravel.

The guys behind it work at Spatie[1] which you have probably heard of some of their packages, and Freek has a blog[2] that has a lot of PHP stuff on - lots Laravel, and lots just general new language stuff (covering PHP8 features etc)

Spatie (https://spatie.be) makes a lot of great packages for Laravel. It also has a website with video courses and the code is open-sourced here https://github.com/spatie/spatie.be. I’ve learned a lot about testing from Spatie packages.

So I along with my colleague M H Hasib started working on a project of our own inspired from the API of laravel-permissions package by Spatie and the result was mongoose-permissions package.

Examples would be something like spatie.be, beyondco.de, and serversforhackers.com

If you are not using oh-my-zsh, you are missing out on some amazing plugins. One feature most people wish the terminal had is autocompletion. With the zsh-autosuggestions plugin, your terminal will autocomplete most commands and remember previous ones.

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

Somewhat related is "Oh My ZSH!" which is basically zsh on steroids, it's always one of the first things I install on a new computer. It gives things like new colors, themes, plugins, and more. Highly recommend you check it out.

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

After this you going to visit Oh-My-Zsh which is where the magic will happen.

after automating my dotfiles, I want to automate my installations, after that I want to make my terminal easier to use so I add OMZ with many plugins, after that, I try to automate the backup of my setting on my Gnome but failed, then try using git-lfs for my big files but it turned out to be idiotic moves, bla bla bla many try and fail.
