Laravel php artisan make:auth command is not defined

If you are trying to run the command php artisan make:auth on laravel verson 6+ and you are getting command is not defined error. Then this is happening because this command is removed in Laravel version 6. Because laravel development team extracted Laravel view(UI) generation from laravel core application. So this change was done to Laravel(Views) to support popular frontend frameworks. The frontend scaffolding typically provided with previous versions of Laravel has been extracted into a laravel/ui Composer package. You can read more about this in the release document at Laravel 6 Release Note.
