PHPStorm Database support for Homestead

Max Hutschenreiter - 13 Nov 2017

We use Homestead as a Server for all our projects even for WordPress projects. PHPStorm has a really nice Database connection feature. But to set it up with Homestead it took me a while so I want to share the trick.

Step 4

Enjoy the nice Database support!
