How to Use Config Split for Environment Management in Drupal

Staff Reporter

In a blog post by Mario Linguito, a web developer, he explains the comprehensive utility of the Config Split module in Drupal CMS. Config Split allows developers to define sets of configurations that export to separate directories and merge when imported, aiding in managing different environments like local, testing, and production. The guide details setting up folders for these environments and using commands to export configurations specific to each.

It highlights splitting complete modules, specific YML files and using the .env file for environment-dependent variables. By using Config Split, developers can enable modules only in the necessary environments, ensuring performance and security. Mario also mentions using Config Ignore for simpler cases where specific configurations need to be omitted from certain environments.
