If you have ever need to forward or call another controller from a controller in Laravel, here are two methods
This will redirect the request to another controller’s method.
return redirect()->action('[email protected]');
You can also call another method directly without doing a redirect
return app->call('App\Http\Controllers\AnotherControlle[email protected]');
Hope one of these methods help!
If you’re a software developer, you most likely use git. Many people are not aware that you can create an alias for commands. Creating alias will make commands easier to remember and quicker to type. Here are some of my favorite git alias I use on a regular basis.
alias gs="git status"
alias wip='git add . && git commit -m "wip"'
alias gpa = "!git pull --rebase --prune [email protected] && git submodule update --init --recursive"alias nah="git reset --hard && git clean -df"
Leave a comment below on your favorite alias commands.

If you’re like me and use Laravel Forge to host multiple websites on a single Digital Ocean server, then you may have run into the issue where you need to backup all the sites on your server. You could run Spatie Laravel Backup package on each site but a better solution would be to just deploy a single backup application to the server so you can backup multiple sites. This means you can backup multiple types of sites including WordPress.
