Modern Package Development with Fresh Package

Creating a reusable Laravel package often involves hours of repetitive setup: configuring Composer autoloaders, wiring Orchestra Testbench, authoring GitHub Actions test matrices, and writing service providers. Fresh Package is a streamlined skeleton repository that gives you a complete, production-ready package architecture in seconds.

What’s Included in the Skeleton

• Pest PHP 3 + Orchestra Testbench: Pre-wired testing environment supporting both feature and unit testing across multiple Laravel and PHP versions.
• GitHub Actions Matrix: Automated continuous integration testing against PHP 8.3 and PHP 8.4 across current Laravel versions.
• Laravel Boost Integration: Built-in support for Laravel Boost skills to ensure consistent formatting, static analysis (PHPStan level 9), and security audits.
• Automatic Service Provider Discovery: Configured composer.json extra attributes ready for immediate installation.

Spinning Up a New Package

# Create your new package using composer create-project
composer create-project fresh-package/laravel-skeleton my-laravel-package --prefer-dist

cd my-laravel-package

# Run test suite immediately
./vendor/bin/pest

Fresh Package removes the friction from open-source contribution and internal company package distribution.
