[](#why-do-we-need-this) This command wraps the sub-commands for a typical on-server config sync -- switching to SFTP, dumping, commiting, and switching back to git -- in a single command. The best part is that each subcommand waits for the previous command to finish, to avoid convergence problems. ### Usage [](#usage) `terminus cex site.env [--message="Optional commit message"]` `cexr` ------ [](#cexr) Export active config from a remote environment to local ### Why do we need this? [](#whydo-we-need-this) For a CI site, we can't do on-server commits - we need to send them to a completely different repository. Drush offers a way to export active config within the same site, or to sync staged config between two sites. The missing piece is exporting active config from one environment to another, especially a local working directory which may not be bootstrappable. This command makes that bridge, and addresses the common use case of more easily fetching "Config from prod". *NB: be sure to use the `--destination` flag if you're not in a working drupal environment* `terminus cexr site.env [--destination="Optional local destination"]` Installation ------------ [](#installation) Depending on which version of Terminus you have installed, install the plugin by using one of the following commands. You can see which version of Terminus you're using by executing `terminus --version`. ### Terminus 2 [](#terminus-2) ``` composer create-project --no-dev -d ~/.terminus/plugins aaronbauman/terminus-config-export ``` ### Terminus 3 [](#terminus-3) ``` terminus self:plugin:install aaronbauman/terminus-config-export ``` Under the hood -------------- [](#under-the-hood) ### What happens when I run `cex`? [](#what-happens-when-i-run-cex) Together with Drush, the Terminus plugin will: - Check for difference between active and staged config (`drush cst`). - If there's a difference, put the target environment into SFTP mode. - Run `drush cex` remotely to export config. - Commit the config changes to VCS. - Put the site back into git mode. ### What happens when I run `cexr`? [](#what-happens-when-i-run-cexr) - Create a private directory in the remote environment (given by `--remote-destination` option) - Run `drush cex` remotely to export config to the given directory. - `rsync` the config to the local environment, as determined by `--destination` option ### Health Score 39 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance52 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 84% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
