# Installation

Require the package with Composer. The service provider and the Git facade alias are auto-discovered — there is nothing to register by hand:

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/git-for-laravel
```

The package works with zero configuration — the settings you’re likely to change are all env-backed. Publish the config file only when you want to change it:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="git-config"
```

If you receive webhooks and want to own the route definition, publish the route stub as well:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="git-routes"
```

## Checking the setup

The package contributes its own section to Laravel’s about command:

```bash
php artisan about
```

- Providers — the forges with a default token configured (or NONE).
- Rate limiting — the forges still paced by the client-side limiter (or OFF).
- Webhooks — the webhook path when receiving is enabled, otherwise OFF.
- Conditional caching — ON or OFF.

Next, put a token in .env (GITHUB\_TOKEN, GITLAB\_TOKEN or BITBUCKET\_TOKEN) and call Git::github() — see The Git facade.
