This article covers config split in a very cursory fashion. For more detail see Configuration Split.

...
. Put it in the Drupal install directory unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.
Code Block language php /** * Place the config directory outside of the Drupal root. */ $settings['config_sync_directory'] = dirname(DRUPAL_ROOT) . '/config/sync';Export all the configuration from your site (
...
see steps 3-5 below), and commit it to
...
your config directory.
Saving Config Changes
When you want to push up new database setting changes collaboratively, do the following:
...
- Example: Modify permissions
...
git checkout -b feature/yourname/kblog-2--permissions
...
You can export config via the admin interface or by using drush. In most cases, it is more efficient to use drush.
