I would like to know, why on fresh Laravel install, the following code does not link Bootstrap CSS file with the blade.php file, this is what I believe the correct code to make it work:

```
<link href="{{ asset('public/css/app.css') }} rel="stylesheet"/>

```

The only way I made it work was this way:

```
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/public/css/app.css">

```

However I want to do it with asset, so I would like to know what is the proper way.
