README

British English command spellings for Laravel Artisan, with suitably dry corrections when the American spelling is used.

What it does

British Artisan lets you use:

php artisan optimise
php artisan optimise:clear

Laravel still receives and runs its native commands:

php artisan optimize
php artisan optimize:clear

The British spelling runs silently. The American spelling still works, but receives a randomly selected reminder that the proper spelling exists.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2 or newer
  • Laravel 11, 12, or 13

Installation

Install the package with Composer:

composer require sebs-space/british-artisan

Then run the one-off installer:

php artisan british-artisan:install

The installer updates the project-root artisan file so command-line arguments are translated before Laravel resolves the command.

Usage

Use the British spelling as normal:

php artisan optimise
php artisan optimise:clear

Any command beginning with optimise is translated to the matching optimize command before Laravel runs it.

The original American spelling continues to work:

php artisan optimize:clear

It simply receives a polite correction first.

Uninstalling

Restore the original Laravel artisan bootstrap with:

php artisan british-artisan:uninstall

Then remove the package:

composer remove sebs-space/british-artisan

Supported command translations

British EnglishLaravel command
optimiseoptimize
optimise:*optimize:*

Additional command translations can be added in future releases.

Planned improvements

  • Publishable configuration
  • Custom correction messages
  • Additional British command spellings where real Artisan commands use American English
