- Import on bootstrap - Easy automated deployment with
importOnBootstrap - Exclusion - Exclude single config entries or all entries of a given type

Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:
# using yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-config-sync
# using npm
npm install strapi-plugin-config-sync --saveAdd the export path to the watchIgnoreFiles list in the config/admin.js file.
This way your app won't reload when you export the config in development.
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
watchIgnoreFiles: [
'**/config/sync/**',
],
});
After successful installation you have to rebuild the admin UI so it'll include this plugin. To rebuild and restart Strapi run:
# using yarn
yarn build
yarn develop
# using npm
npm run build
npm run developThe Config Sync plugin should now appear in the Settings section of your Strapi app.
To start tracking your config changes you have to make the first export. This will dump all your configuration data to the /config/sync directory. You can export either through the CLI or Strapi admin panel
Enjoy 🎉
