Let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Custom command:
php artisan students:create

This command through we will create new admins. So first fire the below command and create a console class file.

php artisan make:command StudentCommand --command=students:create

Next to this command you can find one file StudentCommand class in the console directory. so one that file and put bellow code.

app/Console/Commands/StudentCommand.php
<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use App\Models\Student;
use Hash;

class StudentCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'students:create';

    /**
     * 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 int
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $input['name'] = $this->ask('Your name?');
        $input['email'] = $this->ask('Your email?');
        $input['password'] = $this->secret('What is the password?');
        $input['password'] = Hash::make($input['password']);

        Student::create($input);

        $this->info('Student Create Successfully.');
    }
}

After, Now I need to register this command class in the Kernel.php file, so open the file and add the class this way:

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        Commands\StudentCommand::class,
    ];
    
    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        //
    }
}

Now we are ready to use or a custom command, you fire bellow command and check you can find command in the list this way "students: create".

php artisan list

php artisan students:create

It will help you....
