Laravel 10 Migration

I'm having a world of trouble with migration. As I understand it you need to have an existing database to perform a migration. I'm on Windows 10 and am trying to create and export a database for Laravel to do a migration on. Can this be done with XAMPP and phpmyadmin? Apparently exporting is not possible with no tables BUT Laravel wants to create the tables itself during the migration process. This CAN'T be this convoluted - can it???? How does one do this?

Site Rendered Oddly on Chrome Mobile

I'm wondering how to fix the issue of Chrome Mobile not displaying a div containing a select tag normally. It works properly on all other devices around my house! I'm using Chrome on an iPhone 8 (yup its old) and it makes the div containing the select tag rounded with a gray background and wider (which messes up the layout too) than on other browsers! (For example when I use Safari it renders normally) If you're up for solving this mystery and you have an iPhone, the URL is: https://tms57.github.io/apps/FractionCalculator/index.html I looked into a way to get into dev tools using Windows connected to my iPhone but that looked like a very deep rabbit hole! Thanks!

vscode git problem

vscode says I have untracked files within a folder, but doesn't show any of the files in that folder as modified! Usually git lists specific files as modified, not entire folders... This is what I'm seeing: (git add . is not working)

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
        modified:   apps/FractionCalculator (modified content, untracked content)

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

GitHub Problems

A while ago I went through the process of changing my primary branch from "master" to "main". This was all good UNTIL I went to push some changes to my GitHub site which was still a "master" branch. Then everything went sideways! I tried all the hints they presented such as renaming the master branch on GitHub site but still am getting errors such as: origin is missing check that you have permission ... Change the upstream settings (I did this but nothing changed) Is there a fix for this (5 minutes or less) or would it just be easier & faster to simply delete the whole account and start over? Thanks!

Artisan Problem

I'm trying to learn a little about laravel and was attempting their tutorial, but when I set up my project and ran: php artisan serve I get the following error: In PackageManifest.php line 177: The C:\Users\Ted\Documents\Web Development\PHP\laravel\chirper\bootstrap\cache directory must be present and writable. I've tried creating the missing directories etc but no luck. I'm curious just how to fix this!
