I want to make multiple laravel projects for my task in university. But i have a problem with my disk capacity, i have very little space.

vendor folder is taking much space of my disk, and every laravel project use the same vendor folder without editing them. And I thought i could use the same Vendor Folder to reduce my disk consumption, but i don't know how to do that.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

    You could use symlinks probably Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 14:16

You can simply create symlinks in each project except whatever the main one is that actually has the vendor directory.

cd /var/www/SiteA
composer install

# create new project into /var/www/SiteB
cd ../SiteB

# If vendor directory is already there, delete it: rm -rf vendor
# create symlink to Site A's vendor directory
ln -s /var/www/SiteA/vendor

It's just Linux commands and tricks.

is this should using command line to run it? bcoz my cpanel doesn't have command line.
Yes. it's a linux command @James ... is there any SSH in your panel ?
yes, there is. but my provider block it. i can't access my ssh using private keys. it always say Network error: Connection time out
You have many ways to create symbol links ... check this link namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9561/29/… and you can also accept the answer :) @James
