 plugins=(... laravel)
 ```
 
+## Settings
+
+By default the aliases run `php artisan`. To use a different PHP command, such as
+`herd php` (which runs the PHP version the [Laravel Herd](https://herd.laravel.com) site
+is isolated to, instead of Herd's global version) or a specific version like `php8.4`,
+set this before Oh My Zsh is sourced:
+
+```zsh
+zstyle ':omz:plugins:laravel' php 'herd php'
+```
+
+`php` in the aliases below is then replaced with that command.
