Summary

In this chapter, you have learned the different ways in which Artisan can assist you in the development, debugging, and deployment process. We have also seen how easy it is to build a custom Artisan command and adapt it to your own needs.

If you are relatively new to the command line, you will have had a glimpse into the power of command-line utilities. If, on the other hand, you are a seasoned user of the command line and you have written scripts with other programming languages, you can surely appreciate the simplicity and expressiveness of Artisan.
