You can use this project (mini website) to shortcut URL adresses, it's a classic project that helps beginners to discover a new framework (laravel in this case).

Download or clone the project on your localhost (or server) by :

git clone https://github.com/IndianGhost/shortcutUrl.git 

create the file ".env" (You will not find it by default on the project), copy & paste the content of the file ".env.example" into ".env" and configure the parameters of the database, here's my example :

DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=shortcut_url DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=null 

On command prompt generate the app key by :

php artisan key:generate 

The last command is to migrate the database :

php artisan migrate 

Now that you did the migration, everything's alright. Don't you trust me? Ok, let's run the server ;)

php artisan serve 

Generally anybody can use this project but I think it will be helpful for software students or beginner php developers (I hope so).
