title: Laravel 5 make:controller creating controller in app folder instead of controller folder
body: <p>I'm learning how to use Laravel 5 and I've ran into a problem where my controllers are being created in the root of the "app" folder instead of the "controller" folder. I have no idea why this is happening as I've re installed and checked 10 times.</p>
  
  <p>I'm in gitbash on windows 8.1..</p>
  
  <p>So I go </p>
  
  <pre><code>john@John ~/desktop/code/my-first-app
  $ php artisan make:controller PagesController
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then I get</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Controller created successfully</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Only it's being created in the root of <code>app</code> and nothing in the Controllers folder. What am I missing? I also see others having the same problem in comments under video on <a href="https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-from-scratch/episodes/4" rel="noreferrer">laracasts</a>.</p>
