Configuration workflow with Drush

In addition to using the interface to import and export configuration, it can also be triggered through Drush. The following commands are available:

drush config-export: Exports all site configuration to the synchronization folder.
drush config-import: Imports all site configuration from the synchronization folder. By default, this will delete any configuration on the system that is not present in the synchronization folder; you can provide the --partial flag to avoid this behavior.
drush config-pull: Exports configuration from one remote site and copies it to another; for example, drush config-pull @live @self will export all configuration on the site at the @live alias and copy the files down to the current site.
drush config-list: Lists all configuration objects on the site.
drush config-set: Directly sets a configuration value in the database...

Chaz Chumley

Chaz Chumley, ever since Chaz can remember, he has been picking up a crayon, a pencil, a pen, or a computer, whether to draw a picture, write a poem, share an article, or develop the next great website. Looking back at these qualities, it's the reason he chose to use those passions to give back to the open source community. His journey has opened doors to great experiences as a consultant, instructor, trainer, author, web developer, technical architect, Drupalist, and most importantly, a father. However, he could be none of these without first being a student and learning from life, love, and a passion for education, community development, and of course, science and technology. The sum of these things has allowed Chaz to share his experiences as an active member of the Drupal community, having participated in developing Drupal training videos, authoring multiple Drupal books for Packt Publishing, and giving back his knowledge by contributing numerous articles, training, and presentations at Design4Drupal, BadCamp, DrupalGovCon, and DrupalCon, all the while bringing topnotch Drupal expertise to his clients' work. However, his greatest journey is still in front of him as he continues to learn new creative ways to architect open source websites, write about the next best things, and laugh with his colleagues along the way.
