Project detail tabs

Overview, logs, shell, environment, database, run command, and history tabs explained.


Overview

The default landing tab when you click into a project. Shows:

  • Status, when the project was created, when it was last started.
  • PHP version, starter kit, and the list of enabled services with their host ports.
  • Quick actions: Open in browser, Open in editor, Open Terminal, Reveal in Finder.
  • Mailpit shortcut (opens the Mailpit UI on its allocated port).
  • TablePlus shortcut for MySQL (opens with the right DSN pre-filled).

Logs

Live docker compose logs --follow for the running containers. There's a service filter dropdown at the top so you can isolate, say, just laravel.test or just mysql. Lines have timestamps, ANSI colors are stripped, and auto-scroll kicks in on new lines (you can pause that).

The first time you open the tab the app fetches the last 200 lines, then switches to streaming.

Shell

A real interactive shell inside the laravel.test container. Backed by a PTY, so it handles things like Vim, top, and color output. Resizes when the window does.

Useful for one-off shell commands without leaving the app.

Environment

Shows the project's .env as a list of key-value pairs. Read-only. Useful for quickly checking ports, the database URL, or the app key without opening your editor.

Database

Shows the database DSN and a "Copy" button. If you have TablePlus installed, the "Open in TablePlus" button passes the DSN directly so you don't need to retype anything.

Run command

One-shot shell from the UI. Type a command (e.g. php artisan tinker, php artisan db:seed, composer dump-autoload), hit run, and the output streams in real time. There's a Stop button if the command is taking too long.

Works on running projects. The command runs inside laravel.test.

History

Timeline of what's happened with this project: created, started, stopped, errored, imported, cloned. Up to 100 entries. Errored events include the message so you can see what went wrong without digging through logs.
