Laravel HALT Stack Starter Kit

A heavily opinionated starter kit for Laravel that bundles essential tooling with the simplicity of the HALT Stack into a jumping off point.

Requirements

• Bun (Can be replaced with your package manager of choice, see below)

Features

• HALT Stack fully set up and ready to roll, just add the @vite directive into your layout
• HTMX Macros
  • Request headers

Pint

The Pint config is based on Nuno Maduro's Essentials package with some tweaks:
