Hi everybody, prior to deploying my web projects I usually do some tasks like creating log folder and files for nginx , this usually involves running following commands:
mkdir /var/log/domain.com nano /var/log/domain.com/access.log nano /var/log/domain.com/error.log
No w I was wondering if I can run this three commands with a single command like:
create logs domain.com
Yes you can. You need to create a shell script for that.
I'm guessing that you are using bash.

Or you can do it with php

I'm also reading about laravel artisan commands, they look reay handy for mysql operations like creating/deleting a database, is this good practice? loging and exiting mysql from the command to do some ops gets a little boring
