Copy page ## [​](#introduction) Introduction You may execute arbitrary Bash commands from the “Commands” panel. Commands are executed from within the site’s root directory, e.g., `/home/forge/site.com`. If you need to run commands within another directory you may prefix the command with a `cd` operation: Copy Ask AI ``` cd bin && ./run-command.sh ``` ## [​](#running-commands) Running commands Commands can be executed from the site’s “Commands” panel. Sites that were created with the “General PHP / Laravel” project type will automatically suggest common Laravel Artisan commands. Commands are not executed within a TTY, which means that input / passwords cannot be provided. Additionally, commands cannot exceed 5 minutes of execution time. ### [​](#command-history) Command history - The user who initiated the command. This is particularly helpful when using Laravel Forge within [teams](/docs/teams) - The command that was executed - The date and time of execution - The status of the command ## [​](#commands-vs-recipes) Commands vs. recipes While [recipes](/docs/recipes) also allow you to run arbitrary Bash scripts on your servers, commands on a site differ in a few, but important ways: - Recipes run at a server level. In other words, they cannot dynamically change into a site’s directory unless you already know the directory ahead of time - Recipes can run using the `root` user. Commands only run as the site’s user, which in most cases will be `forge` unless the site is “isolated” - Recipes are better equipped for running larger Bash scripts. Commands focus on running short commands, such as `php artisan config:cache` - Recipes use the server’s configured PHP CLI version. Commands use the PHP version configured for the site they are run on. Was this page helpful?
