## Introduction

Laravel Tinker is a powerful REPL for the Laravel framework.

## Installation

To get started with Laravel Tinker, simply run:

    composer require laravel/tinker

## Basic Usage

From your console, execute the `php artisan tinker` command.

### Dispatching Jobs

The `dispatch` helper function and `dispatch` method on the `Dispatchable` class depends on garbage collection to place the job on the queue. Therefore, when using `tinker`, you should use `Bus::dispatch` or `Queue::push` to dispatch jobs.
