Drush provides a way to simplify the transportation of configuration between sites. The config-pull command allows you to specify two Drupal sites and move the export configuration between them. You can either specify a name of a subdirectory under the /sites directory or a Drush alias.

The following command will copy a development site's configuration and import it into the staging server's site:

drush config-pull @mysite.local @mysite.staging 

Additionally, you can specify the --label option. This represents a folder key in the $config_directories setting. The option defaults to sync automatically. Alternatively, you can use the --destination parameter to specify an arbitrary folder that is not specified in the setting of $config_directories.
