Upgrading a laravel/ui project to breeze (how to)

I have recently been upgrading a laravel project that was originally frameworked with bootstrap and laravel/ui, back in the day. Anyhoo. I wanted to use something more modern for authentication/registration etc.

Here is what I did, hopefully it may help others.

1. I created a new branch and just tried the adding breeze as recommended for a new install. Failure, it blatted a lot of stuff.
2. I created a new laravel project, without breeze, just plain vanilla.
3. I made sure everything was working then ran git init and committed everything
4. then I installed laravel/breeze (don't commit at this point)
5. create a new branch for the project you are updating and use that
6. use gst on the new (breeze) project to see what the install does.
7. Add and remove files as needed. There are some files that change too, use git diff.
8. install laravel/sanctum

The above approach worked for me and it took a few hours. Not as bad as I expected.

Below is what I ended up checking in to my project. You might use this as a check list.
