Claude Code Github Copilot Google Gemini Laravel Boost

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Introduction

BRAP.dev is just another Linux machine of yours, making it relatively compatible to popular Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. This makes BRAP.dev capable of the trending vibe-coding or prompt engineering driven development approaches.

You may install any of the popular AI tools directly to your BRAP.dev VS Code not limited to Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Github Copilot and Laravel Boost.

To get started, run the following command to update your BRAP.dev Pro Linux Container:

curl -sL https://brap.dev/update.sh | zsh

Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, run the following command:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

After the installation process completes, navigate to your project and start Claude Code:

cd your-awesome-project
claude

Install Github Copilot

Installing GitHub Copilot in BRAP.dev is similar to installing any other VS Code extension, but because BRAP.dev uses a different marketplace (Open VSX) from the official Visual Studio Code Marketplace, you may not be able to find it directly.

UPDATE: You can now find and install Github Copilot Chat extension directly on BRAP.dev VS Code extensions:

Alternatively, you may opt to install Github Copilot using the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace instead:

  1. Download the .VSIX file: Navigate to the Visual Studio Marketplace and find the GitHub Copilot extension. You will need to download the .vsix file. Look for a "Download Extension" link in the sidebar of the extension's page.

  2. Install the extension in BRAP.dev VS Code:

    • Open your BRAP.dev VS Code instance in your browser.
    • Go to the Extensions view (the icon on the left that looks like four squares).
    • Click the three dots (...) at the top of the Extensions sidebar.
    • Select "Install from VSIX..." from the dropdown menu.
    • Browse to and select the .vsix file you downloaded.
    • A notification will appear, prompting you to reload BRAP.dev VS Code to activate the extension.

  1. Sign in to GitHub: After the extension is installed and BRAP.dev VS Code has reloaded, you will need to sign in to your GitHub account to use Copilot.

    • A notification should appear in the bottom-right corner prompting you to "Sign in to GitHub to use Copilot." Click this to proceed.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to authenticate and authorize BRAP.dev VS Code to use your GitHub account for Copilot.

Install Laravel Boost

To install Laravel Boost, run the following Composer command into your Laravel project:

cd your-awesome-project
composer require laravel/boost --dev
php artisan boost:install
