Recently i was assigned a task to upgrade old laravel project, there is one controller and not more than 20 files in need to migrate with 200 lines of code on them(on average).
Just for this i setup laravel latest 8.1 , but it comes with a lot of garbage, including sails. i just needed laravel-5.4 like (supporting php-8) with mysql (no sails, mail and other things).
Can i remove sails from it, i couldn't find good documentation on the first page of google to use a minimal laravel so i came here.
I didn't mean to offend anyone but laravel is getting fraustrating with lots of bad bad abstraction i think.
You can remove any package using composer
composer remove vendor/package
Example of removing Sail
❯ composer remove laravel/sail
laravel/sail could not be found in require but it is present in require-dev
Do you want to remove it from require-dev [yes]? yes
./composer.json has been updated
