title: When to generate a new Application Key in Laravel?
body: <p>Since it automatically sets it for me in my <code>.env</code> file when I create the app, I'm not sure when I should run it.</p>
  
  <p>In addition to that, if a second developer comes in, and <strong>clones</strong> the app, does he/she need to run <code>php artisan key:generate</code> ? </p>
  
  <p>How do we know exactly when to run <code>php artisan key:generate</code> ?</p>
