Laravel new error displaying package (Ignition) causes error on shared hostinging

Laravels new error displaying package runs command at startup and it causes The Process class relies on proc_open, which is not available on your PHP installation. error.

Here is error trace

at Process->__construct('git log --pretty=format:\'%H\' -n 1', '/home/u7640462/congresssun.com/dev')
in AddGitInformation.php line 50

at AddGitInformation->command('git log --pretty=format:\'%H\' -n 1')
in AddGitInformation.php line 25

It's shared hosting so I'm not able to change php.ini file effectivly. I can't enable proc_open on php.ini

So how can I get away with this error ?

Even if I set .env for production and close debugging it gives me above error.

Try to set flare.reporting.collect_git_information config option to false.

In config/flare.php file search for collect_git_information and set it to false.

If you don't have flare.php file in config directory, run this command in the terminal:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Facade\Ignition\IgnitionServiceProvider" --tag="flare-config"

or upload it through FTP: https://github.com/facade/ignition/blob/master/config/flare.php
