The recommended settings includes: - The required database credentials. - Configuration sync directory path. - File directory path i.e public/private etc. - Acquia site studio sync directory path. It allows your websites to be easily installed in both Acquia Cloud IDE & local and deployable on Acquia Cloud. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Install using Composer [](#install-using-composer) ``` composer require acquia/drupal-recommended-settings ``` ### Multi-site features with Acquia DRS [](#multi-site-features-with-acquia-drs) The Drupal Recommended Settings offer the multi-site feature out of the box. To configure a multi-site, run the following command, and the plugin will automatically generate the settings.php in the backend. ``` drush site:install --uri site1 ``` The plugin offers various events that allow you to implement custom logic based on when these events are triggered. You can find the examples of such implementations from [here](examples). Quick examples ============== [](#quick-examples) ### Generate settings with default credentials for the default site: [](#generate-settings-with-default-credentials-for-the-default-site) ``` ./vendor/bin/drush init:settings ``` ### Set up a new site with custom credentials for the local environment: [](#set-up-a-new-site-with-custom-credentials-for-the-local-environment) ``` ./vendor/bin/drush init:settings --database=site1 --username=myuser --password=mypass --host=127.0.0.1 --port=1234 --uri=site1 ``` --- Customizing File Operations --------------------------- [](#customizing-file-operations) By default, DRS copies a set of opinionated settings files into your project. You can now take full control of which files get copied, what content gets added to them, and even skip files you do not want. > **To learn more about customizing operations, including advanced usage, schema details, and more examples, see [docs/how-to-use-operations.md](docs/how-to-use-operations.md).** License ======= [](#license) Copyright (C) 2023 Acquia, Inc.
