Using Laravel 8 to get the top 100 PHP repos on Github
Follow the steps to install Laravel 8 at:
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation
I used the composer option...

Once you have Laravel up and running just copy the files in this repo
to their respective locations in the Laravel file structure in your instance of Laravel- Web Server - Tested on Apache with mod_rewrite enabled
If a different server is used,
some sort of URL rewrite rules will need to be in place to manage dynamic routing
- PHP - 7.4 (tested on 7.4.1)
- MySQL 5.7+
- Laravel 8.xThis app leverages Laravel 8
Database configuration can be set up in the Laravel .env file
Use the github_popular_php_repos.sql to create the necessary database table
The core app logic is in the /app/Http/Controllers/RepoController.php file
URL routes can be found in the /routes/web.php file
To reset the data in the database table you can simply call the /reset-repos/ route from a browser
All views for this app are in the /resources/views folder
The endpoint to handle resetting of the database table is in no way protected against something like a DDoS attack. Under normal circumstances I would prevent this endpoint from being reached by the outside world, but it seemed like overkill for the needs of this example project.
