I created a Laravel 11 project but I didn't get the new file structure

Today I created a new Laravel 11 app. But for some reason I didn't get that infamous new file structure. I got the regular files and folders, should I have added a flag to my laravel new ProjectName command or something like that?

Here's how it looks :

I also kind of started building an app, is it possible to switch to that minimalistic structure from here? Without having to create a new project and moving all the files I changed/added manually?

@gych I realized I do have the new structure after making this post, although mine is a little more bloated because I have jetstream. It's been a while since I saw examples of the new skeleton and I guess I was expecting/misremembered an even lighter structure.. Thanks!

@motinska94 No problem :) Installing Jetstream does indeed add some extra folders and files
