Drupal 8 Configuration Management with Drush

You can easily control your Drupal 8 configurations with Drush. First I’d recommend that you set your configurations files out of files folder:

Add this to your settings.php (or default.settings.php if you’d like it to be default):

$config_directories['sync'] = 'config/sync';

Now you configurations should be more available and also visible for Git.

To export your current configurations use this:

drush config-export sync

and to import:

drush config-import sync

Notice that if you are a team or you are developing on multiple systems then it is necessary to have the same UUID for the site you are developing.

You can find out the site UUID with this:

drush config-get "system.site" uuid

and set it with this:

drush config-set "system.site" uuid "INSERT-UUID-HERE"
