Configuration management in Drupal 8 for beginners
summary
Shows that Drupal 8 moves site configuration out of the database into readable YAML files so changes travel with code, exported to Git and imported with Drush CIM; demo fixes a Views pager from 1 to 6 items, commits the generated YAML, deploys via Pantheon, then imports config on test and live and it works. Covers modules config_direct_save, config_readonly, config_ignore, warns config is UUID-tied sites and recommends automating imports.
