Reverting from PEST to PHPUnit
When starting the laravel app creation, I went for PEST, but now I realise I don't actually like it and prefer the look of PHPUnit. I've noticed that pest comes with a lot of preloaded scripts to test for specific functionality, my guess in that the same kind of script come with PHPUnit. Is there a script I can run to remove Pest and go with Unit?

They were on some kind of drive to turn Laravel PHP stuff into JS it felt like at one point, especially with Pest and Volt.. both of which, IMO, are a royal PITA and a mess to work with.

@randy_johnson Pest is based on PHPUnit. Just take a look at the tests directory in the laravel/laravel repository for the skeleton files you need to go back to using PHPUnit.
