When doing valet share, how to choose which linked hostname is used?

[jordanade]

I do valet share and it chooses the first linked hostname out of the several I have assigned. But I want it to choose a particular local linked hostname.

My memory on this specific scenario is vague, because I've been using Herd on my prod machine for awhile.

That said, I think you can call valet share foo to share the foo linked hostname.

[jordanade]

Doesn't work, unfortunately.

How about valet share https://foo.test ? (assuming it's https secured)

[jordanade]

Yeah, I tried several different combinations and none worked. It seems this isn't supported directly — and I couldn't find an option for the underlying ngrok either.

The (bash) logic for the HOST detection is here, and then subsequently gets passed to the share platform's params list:

	# If the command is the "share" command we will need to resolve out any
	# symbolic links for the site. Before starting the share tool, we will fire a
	# process to retrieve the live the share tool tunnel URL in the background.
	if [[ "$1" = "share" ]]
	then
	SHARETOOL="$("$PHP" -d error_reporting=1 "$DIR/cli/valet.php" share-tool)"
	# Check for parameters to pass through to share tool (these will start with '-' or '--')
	PARAMS=(${@:2})
	for PARAM in ${PARAMS[@]}
	do
	if [[ ${PARAM:0:1} != '-' ]]; then
	PARAMS=("${PARAMS[@]/$PARAM}") # Quotes when working with strings
	fi
	done
	PARAMS=${PARAMS[@]}
	HOST="${PWD##*/}"
	# Find the first linked site for the current dir, if one exists
	for linkname in ~/.config/valet/Sites/*; do
	if [[ "$(readlink $linkname)" = "$PWD" ]]
	then
	HOST="${linkname##*/}"
	break
	fi
	done
	# Lowercase the host to match how the rest of our domains are looked up
	HOST=$(echo "$HOST" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')

[jordanade]

Right. Doesn't seem to be a way to override this. I don't know shell scripting very well but maybe I can do a PR
