drupal-config-management

Drupal configuration across multiple environments is managed by exporting YAML files to a standard directory layout and synchronizing them using Drush cim and cex workflows. This ensures reliable dev, staging, and production deployments.

Config_split for environment-specific Drupal config is set up by organizing a shared base configuration and applying environment overrides through standard directories like config/sync. This preserves shared settings while allowing targeted deviations.

Drush cim and cex are used for safe Drupal config deployments by exporting configuration changes to YAML and importing them across environments. This controlled workflow ensures predictable and error-free synchronization.

Config/install directories in Drupal should be used for required install-time configuration, while optional directories handle overrides that depend on certain conditions or dependencies being met during deployment.

Drupal config management works with config_ignore to exclude specific environment settings from being overwritten during synchronization. This pattern prevents local configurations from being exported and deployed incorrectly.
