'providers' => [
    ....
    Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,

config/services.
return [
    ....
    'google' => [
        'client_id' => 'app id',
        'client_secret' => 'add secret',
        'redirect' => 'http://localhost:8000/auth/google/callback',
    ],
]
Step 6: Add Database Column

In this step first we have to create migration for add google_id in your user table. So let's run bellow command:

php artisan make:migration add_google_id_column_in_users_table  --table=users
database/migrations/2020_09_18_052105_add_google_id_column_in_users_table.php
<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   
class AddGoogleIdColumn extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('google_id')->nullable();
        });
    }
   
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->dropColumn('google_id');
         });
    }
}

Update mode like this way:

app/Models/User.php
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Fortify\TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
use Laravel\Jetstream\HasProfilePhoto;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens;
    use HasFactory;
    use HasProfilePhoto;
    use Notifiable;
    use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'google_id'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'two_factor_recovery_codes',
        'two_factor_secret',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    /**
     * The accessors to append to the model's array form.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $appends = [
        'profile_photo_url',
    ];
}
Step 7: Create Routes

Here, we need to add resource route for login with gmail account. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\GoogleController;

Route::get('auth/google', [GoogleController::class, 'redirectToGoogle']);
Route::get('auth/google/callback', [GoogleController::class, 'handleGoogleCallback']);
Step 8: Create Controller

After add route, we need to add method of google auth that method will handle google callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your GoogleController.php file

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/GoogleController.php
<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\Models\User;
  
class GoogleController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function redirectToGoogle()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('google')->redirect();
    }
      
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handleGoogleCallback()
    {
        try {
    
            $user = Socialite::driver('google')->user();
     
            $finduser = User::where('google_id', $user->id)->first();
     
            if($finduser){
     
                Auth::login($finduser);
    
                return redirect('/dashboard');
     
            }else{
                $newUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'google_id'=> $user->id,
                    'password' => encrypt('123456dummy')
                ]);
    
                Auth::login($newUser);
     
                return redirect('/dashboard');
            }
    
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}
Step 9: Update Blade File

Ok, now at last we need to add blade view so first create new file login.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php
<x-guest-layout>
    <x-jet-authentication-card>
        <x-slot name="logo">
            <x-jet-authentication-card-logo />
        </x-slot>

        <x-jet-validation-errors class="mb-4" />

        @if (session('status'))
            <div class="mb-4 font-medium text-sm text-green-600">
                {{ session('status') }}
            </div>
        @endif

        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
            @csrf

            <div>
                <x-jet-label value="{{ __('Email') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="email" name="email" :value="old('email')" required autofocus />
            </div>

            <div class="mt-4">
                <x-jet-label value="{{ __('Password') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
            </div>

            <div class="block mt-4">
                <label class="flex items-center">
                    <input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" name="remember">
                    <span class="ml-2 text-sm text-gray-600">{{ __('Remember me') }}</span>
                </label>
            </div>

            <div class="flex items-center justify-end mt-4">
                @if (Route::has('password.request'))
                    <a class="underline text-sm text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
                        {{ __('Forgot your password?') }}
                    </a>
                @endif

                <x-jet-button class="ml-4">
                    {{ __('Login') }}
                </x-jet-button>

                    <a href="{{ url('auth/google') }}" style="margin-top: 0px !important;background: green;color: #ffffff;padding: 5px;border-radius:7px;" class="ml-2 btn-google">
                      <strong>Login With Google</strong>
                    </a> 
            </div>
        </form>
    </x-jet-authentication-card>
</x-guest-layout>
