First off, this isn't the only method to achieve the outcome of emptying a file.

Using a symbol : is a shell built-in command that is essence equivalent to the true command and it can be used as a no-op (no operation).  It can be used as follows:

# : > filename.txt

OR 

# true > filename.txt

My initial file was as follows:

21548342 16 Mar 20:27 code.log

Post using the command 

This article assumes that you are running Docker and Lando already.  Don't meet this... have a read through the following page "Building a Drupal or Laravel instance on OSX using Lando and Docker" for more.

I'll be using the following: .lando.yml file:

Changes in your .env file

Connecting your app to the new environment you need to make some tweaks in your .env file.

Change your DB_HOST to database. If you use MySQL or MariaDB Lando will create a database named laravel for you with a user laravel and the password laravel. The database section in your .env should look like this:

I installed Lando 3.6.2 and Laravel 9.  When I visit the web page, I getting

Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2". You are running 7.4.28. in /app/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

Problem solving

Opening the directory in VS Code, if I run the command 

php -v

The response I'm getting is

Clear DNS Cache

The DNS (Domain Name Service) cache on your Mac helps browsers locate and connect to web addresses quickly. If your browser Safari or Chrome still fails to load websites, this can be the result of an obsolete DNS cache may be causing the issue. In this instance you want to focus clearing the cache.  Using Terminal or iTerm2 enter the following command:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

As a web developer, you will most likely need to run local copies of a bunch of different web sites. Regularly switching between several sites daily.  Sometime Drupal, other Laravel and whatever frameworks that are in your toolkit.

Install Docker and Lando

Do you have Docker installed?  No, then go to the Docker Desktop page and download.

Do you want set up a CI/CD process using GitHub Actions?

This is a walk-through basic setup to automate your integrations and deployments for your projects.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions allows for your code can be built, tested and deployed from GitHub.  Let's explore an approach in managing CI/CD processes using GitHub Actions.

Changing git push from passphrase?  There are several ways to tackle this step.  I'm going to focus one of these steps.

From your web directory root, look for your .git directory.  Then open the .git...

cd .git

Next using your shell prompt (iTerm2), view the contents of the config file

vim config

Presently the config file looks like the following

If like me you tried the command

php artisan

However, you had the following “Could not open input file: artisan” error when starting the Laravel service using the above command.

How come “Could not open input file: artisan” error is showing up in Laravel

There are a few causes behind this error.

Let say in composer.json you have

"drupal/core-recommended": "^9.2"  

You're attempting to run

composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-all-dependencies

...to update to the latest 9.2.x version. Yet instead you are finding 9.3.6 installed.
