Change the storage path in Laravel 5

Question

I want to change the storage path Laravel 5.1 uses to something like /home/test/storage. This has the advantage that these files are not stored in the repositor

Answer 1

This works on Laravel 5.2

File: app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

public function register() {
  ...
  $this->app->useStoragePath(config('what_ever_you_want'));
  ...
}
