Laravel file cache garbage collector

When using the file cache driver, Laravel creates the cache files but never purges expired ones. This can lead to a situation where you have a large number of unused and irrelevant cache files, especially if you do a lot of short-term caching in your system.

This package creates an artisan command cache:gc that will garbage-collect your cache files, removing any that have expired. You may run this manually or include it in a schedule.
