A minimal GitHub Actions CI setup for Laravel projects.

What's included

• Test runner via php artisan test using SQLite in-memory database (MySQL service not required). Compatible with both Pest and PHPUnit.

• Laravel Pint code style check using the laravel preset.

• Separate jobs so tests and style report independently.

• Laravel 12+

.env.example

Ensure your .env.example includes:
