Laravel (quick) init

Quickly initialize a Laravel/Lumen project using terminal.

This package:

1. Clean vendor and node_modules folder if provided
2. ⚠️ Reset your local MySQL laravel or homestead database or create it
3. Install Composer/NPM dependencies
4. Create .env file based on .env.example file and generate APP_KEY
5. Clear Laravel caches (route, config, cache)
6. Migrate and seed database

Why creating this package?

I work as a web development teacher and frequently give assignments to my students. I teach them how to use Laravel, and then, they have to create many different Laravel projects for educational purpose.

That's why I need to quickly set up their Laravel project to be able to test and mark their projects.
