This is the first episode in the series. Looking forward to see how to fork, build, receive feedback and merge an open source project.

The project will be about changing Laravel Prompts package to allow going back through the steps in a prompt in order to fix errors done in previous steps. Ultimately the idea is to use it to change how Laravel installer works.

Some questions that pop up now

  • is the project only going to affect Laravel Prompts? Or does it mean also the Laravel installer package will need changes?

  • No idea how prompt steps work. Do they have models to back them up? If so going back means restoring the old values in the model?
