Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: Laravel Herd is a macOS application providing a fast and easy-to-use local development environment for Laravel and PHP applications. It bundles PHP (versions 7.4 to 8.3 Alpha), nginx, and dnsmasq. It automatically routes requests to local *.test domains and offers a UI for managing sites, enabling SSL, and isolating PHP versions. Designed as a seamless upgrade from Laravel Valet, it migrates existing Valet settings. It uses statically compiled binaries, eliminating Homebrew. Newer versions integrate with Laravel Forge for easier deployment.
