Saving Config Changes

When you want to push up new database setting changes collaboratively, do the following:

1. Make your Database changes
   1. Example: Modify permissions
2. Make a new feature branch

   1. git checkout -b feature/yourname/kblog-2--permissions

3. Download the configs

   1. Visiting admin/config/development/configuration/full/export will let you export them

4. Extract to the file system at web/sites/default/config
5. Add only the changes that you need
   1. Do not overwrite changes that are unrelated to the feature you're working on
   2. git add permissions.yml
6. Commit the changes

   1. git commit -m "KBLOG-2 Update permissions"

7. Push the changes up to the new branch

   1. git push origin feature/yourname/kblog-2–permissions

8. Open a Pull Request with the new change

2. git pull
3. Import the configs
