Launching Tinker
Laravel Tinker is a REPL for Laravel, and it allows you to interact with your application via the command line. While you usually start it via the terminal by runningphp artisan tinker or herd tinker, Herd provides a global shortcut that instantly opens the active project automatically.
Herd integrates natively with Tinkerwell and gives you a fantastic tinker experience with multi-line code editing, autocompletion, and SSH access to your applications.
Open Tinker with a global shortcut
Herd allows you to define global system shortcuts and Tinker is part of this configuration. By pressing the global tinker shortcut, Herd starts a tinker session for the last site that you visited via your browser.
Tinkerwell Integration
Tinkerwell users benefit from the deep integration between both tools, so if you are runningherd tinker or press the global shortcut and Herd detects Tinkerwell on your machine, Tinkerwell opens a new tab with the most recent Herd project automatically.
This allows you to quickly iterate on complex Eloquent queries or debug some code. It also provides autocompletion and a familiar multi-line code editor experience that goes beyond a simple REPL.
