Laravel Crash Course

I have inherited a Laravel project which I need to support for a number of months. I predominantly work in App development and Windows Software development so this is not something I am massively familiar with. Laravel is providing an API for App. I'm trying to understand a couple of things. How do I get oAuth information such as client secret? Where can I view error logs? How do I actually go about doing any of this from my remote machine?

How do I actually go about doing any of this from my remote machine?

If you are using vscode, there is an extension Remote - SSH, you install it, and you can connect to the remote server over SSH, pick a directory (where your code is), and you can edit the code live, I don't recommend this method, unless the remote machine is not the production server, if it is the production server consider using Git to push and pull the code.

Where can I view error logs?

By default Laravel stores all the logs in storage/logs, and you can find all the documentation

https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/logging.

How do I get oAuth information such as client secret?

If I understood you correctly, you want to use oAuth, Laravel have a first party package called Laravel Passport that provides a full OAuth2 implementation
