About Visor

Visor is a quick and simple way to get your next Laravel project running locally with Docker on Mac OS.

Install Visor globally with composer:

composer global require thebrubaker/laravel-visor:dev-main

To use visor to spin up a new Laravel application, simply run visor up

Tip: If you are already familiar with Docker or Docker Compose, this tool is likely only useful for convenience.
