Start a laravel 11 app with the minimum number of files

[dp-anto]

I'm trying to start a Laravel 11 app with the minumum number as possible of files.

According to this and this, Laravel 11 should set an empty config directory when creating a fresh new project. However when I execute laravel new example-app the config directory pullulates of config files.

Is there any option/flag/command that I'm missing?

I'm running Laravel Installer 5.9.2 with Laravel Framework 11.29.0.

Looking at what the config folder contain at the date of the video, it was indeed totally empty : https://github.com/laravel/laravel/tree/dc4e89b652548491907fc5b61fe01924b6ea6a5e/config due to the slim skeleton first changes : laravel/laravel@428a190

It looks like some files came back on 23 February : laravel/laravel@96508d4

And I think you shouldn't care too much about that as some things could be broken when these files are missing.

@noefleury So should I leave all config files? Because I'm creating a simple test app where I don't need any of them, except app.php.
