A project template for Drupal 8 sites on Managed Hosting with a docroot directory and modified .gitignore to allow all site files to be committed and tagged for release.

Our front-end developer team has put together a Drupal 8 starter theme called Starterlight to use for starting new Drupal 8 theming projects. See the Starterlight project page on GitHub for documentation.

Lando Integration

This repository is ready to use out of the box in Lando for local development. Make sure to rename the Lando project in the .lando.yml file.

Probo Integration

This repository is ready to be integrated with Probo.CI to install a fresh copy of Drupal 8. Additional configuration to the .probo.yaml file is required to manage configuration imports after the site has been installed.

How to Use This Template

Below you can find step by step documentation for creating a new Drupal 8 project repository controlled by Composer that lives on GitHub and is hosted on a Managed hosting environment.

2. Clone the new repository and rename the project's name value in the .lando.yaml file.

    name: cooldrupalproject
   

3. Start the Lando project.

    lando start
   

4. Connect Probo.CI to the new GitHub repository for testing changes in Pull Requests. Note: Requires a database export of the local site install of export.sql.gz, or modify the database: value in the .probo.yaml file.

5. Composer require any additional contrib projects and commit the changes to a Feature Branch.

    lando composer require drupal/webform
