Evolve comes with some predefined Laravel Envoy tasks to run on your remote server.

INFO

You can skip this step if you created a new project with the Evolve Starter Kit.

Before running Evolve's custom Envoy tasks you'll need to create an Envoy.blade.php file in your project root directory with following line of content:

@import('vendor/racerfish/evolve/core/bin/Envoy.blade.php')
