Working good at 09/04/2016

Description

Syncs your local folder with the laracasts website, when there are new lessons the app download it for you. If your local folder is empty, all lessons and series will be downloaded!

A .skip file is used to prevent downloading deleted lessons for these with space problems. Thanks to @vinicius73

Just call php makeskips.php before deleting the lessons.

An account with an active subscription is necessary!

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4
• php-cURL
• Composer

Installation

• Clone this repo to a folder in your machine
• Add a config.ini with your options, there is a config.example.ini
• composer install

Also works in the browser, but is better from the cli because of the instant feedback

Troubleshooting

If you have a cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain do this:

• Download http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
• Add curl.cainfo = "PATH_TO/cacert.pem" to your php.ini

And you are done! If using apache you may need to restart it.
