Moving Laravel from Dev to Production

I love this site. I've learned a lot of tricks. However, the first major headache I encountered was when I tried to move my site to production and deploy with Envoyer. I was getting all kinds of errors.

I realized that all the cool ServiceProviders that Jeffrey had shown me how to use (Clockwork and IDE Helper to name a few) were still referenced in my Service Providers array. After some digging I got it working.

I am not sure if I should remove all references in my code to these things before pushing to production or if I should mask them. Currently I use the env() function to check if I am in local, if so, I run my Clockwork command.

Having said that, @JeffreyWay I would love to suggest a video in the future that goes over moving a site from local to production and making sure your composer require-dev dependencies aren't active in your production code.

(I moved my IDE and Clockwork Service Provider loading to the App Service Provider to only load in local environment...in Laravel 5).
