Configuration management in Drupal 8 provides a solution to common problems when working with a website across multiple environments. No matter what the workflow pattern is, at some point, the configuration needs to move from one place to another, such as from production to a local environment. When pushing the development work to production, you will need to have some way to put the configuration in place.
Drupal 8's user interface provides a way to import and export configuration entities via the YAML format. In this recipe, we will create a content type, export its configuration, and then import it into another Drupal site. The configuration YAML export will be imported into the production site to update its configuration.
