php-sync-tool can automatically detect database credentials from Laravel applications (>= v4.0).

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Command Line

Example for receiver mode:

    --type Laravel \
    --origin-host prod.example.com \
    --origin-user deploy \
    --origin-path /var/www/html/laravel/.env \
    --target-path /var/www/local/laravel/.env
