I'm new to Laravel, and I'm going to do a lot of reading up on it during a trip I'm taking. I'll be on a train though and service for me will be spotty. So I'd like to know either: Is there a downloadable (PDF, e-book, etc) version of the docs that's conveniently formatted, or is there a way to get the laravel.com repo working in Homestead to display the documentation like it does?
I'm aware that there are .md files, but I do personally like it formatted like how the website has it formatted rather than reading the markdown directly, but a PDF would be just as fine.
I figured it out. I managed to clone the laravel.com repo, cloned the 5.1 documentation into the laravel.com/resources/docs/ directory as 5.1, and then on the Homestead server go into the root of the laravel.com app and run composer install. I have my own local copy of the website now that does pretty much all I need (except API documentation)
thanks a lot for sharing this solution! I have really wonky internet and wanted to have access to the offline documentation as well and the one off github is hard to read in .md format so I wanted the same as you. Now thanks to you I have the entire laravel website on my dev with the latest documentation!
personally I use a Google Chrome extension called "Laravel Offline Docs" it works very well for me
