You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-tail

You're done. Run php artisan tail to tail your log.

To tail the log you can use this command:

php artisan tail

You can start the output with displaying the last lines in the log by using the lines-option.

php artisan tail --lines=50

To filter out stack traces from the output, you can use the hide-stack-traces-option.

php artisan tail --hide-stack-traces

It's also possible to fully clear the output buffer after each log item. This can be useful if you're only interested in the last log entry when debugging.

php artisan tail --clear

This package was created because the awesome tail command present in Laravel 4 was dropped in Laravel 5. The tail command from this package is equivalent to Laravel's old one minus the remote tailing features.
