Generate Artisan command instead of "php artisan serve"

Question

I want to make an alias like

php artisan go

instead of

php artisan serve

I will appreciate any other idea :-) .I also read this link and search a lot but it wasn't so clear and other questions were about making class or .env files and etc.

Thanks in advance

Update This question is not duplicate of this because it's not contain calling php artisan itself.

Create the command using:

php artisan make:command GoCommand

Add this in the class:

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput;

class GoCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'go';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Command description';

    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $output = new ConsoleOutput;
        $output->writeln("Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>");
        Artisan::call('serve');
        Artisan::output();
    }
}

Use the command:

php artisan go

Visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

and see the output in your console.
