Moving Drupal 8 configuration from another install.

First remove all uuids from the config files. This is necessary because the uuids are specific to the install.

$ sed -i.bak '/uuid/d' config/sync/*.yml

Don’t forget to remove all the .bak files that this will create. The mac version of sed requires -i to produce a backup.

$ rm config/sync/*.bak

Remove all system files.

$ rm config/sync/system.*

Also, remove any configuration for modules that won’t be on the new site.

$ rm config/sync/google_analytics_lite.settings.yml

$ drush @drupalvm.dev cim --partial
