Can I migrate my Valet sites to Herd on macOS


Yes, you can easily migrate your existing Laravel Valet sites to Laravel Herd on macOS. The search results provide clear instructions on how to do this:

1. Herd automatically detects and serves sites from all of your parked Valet paths when you migrate to Herd[2]. This means your existing Valet sites will just work after installing Herd.

2. When you install Herd for the first time, it detects if you are already using Valet and automatically migrates all of your existing Valet settings, isolated sites, and SSL certificates to Herd[5]. This makes the migration process very smooth.

3. The search results include a detailed video tutorial that walks through the steps to migrate from Valet to Herd on macOS[1]. It shows how to uninstall Valet, PHP, and Composer, then install Herd and set up fresh Laravel and WordPress sites.

4. Herd supports the same `valet park` and `valet link` commands as Valet for serving sites[2]. So you can continue using the same workflows you are used to from Valet.

In summary, the search results confirm that migrating from Valet to Herd is a straightforward process on macOS. Herd automatically detects and serves your existing Valet sites, and provides an easy migration path when first installing. This allows you to take advantage of Herd's performance and features while preserving your existing development workflow.
