Drush Configuration

Drush users may provide configuration via:

  1. yml files that are placed in specific directories. See our example file for more information. You may also add configuration to a site alias - see example site alias.
  2. Properly named environment variables are automatically used as configuration. To populate the options.uri config item, create an environment variable like so DRUSH_OPTIONS_URI=http://example.com. As you can see, variable names should be uppercased, prefixed with DRUSH_, and periods replaced with dashes.

If you are authoring a commandfile and wish to access the user's configuration, see Command Authoring.

The Drush configuration system has been factored out of Drush and shared with the world at https://github.com/consolidation/config. Feel free to use it for your projects. Lots more usage information is there.
