Laravel overriding public folder not symlinking properly

[garygreen]

If you've overridden the public path in laravel from the standard public to e.g. public_html -- the symlinking for the public storage won't work.

Laravel actually provides a command php artisan storage:link that can link public to the storage folder (it will know that you've overriden the path) -- maybe that should be used rather than hardcoding it ?

What will be cool. Can you make a PR with this?

Would be just

desc('Execute artisan storage:link');
task('artisan:storage:link', function () {
    run('{{bin/php}} {{release_path}}/artisan storage:link');
});

But it does have different checks: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.4/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/StorageLinkCommand.php
