(Re)start Homestead: use option 2 in laravel.bat
Open a PhpStorm in the project folder C:\sites_laravel\learn_php8
- Execute the command npm install
- Execute the command npm run watch
  - This command opens a browser window with URL http://localhost:5500 (opens new window), which serves as a proxy for http://php8.test (opens new window)
  - When changes are detected in relevant files (CSS, JS, PHP), the page gets reloaded via Browsersync.
