Drupal batch / bash remove UUID from config .yml files

Sometimes in Drupal you need to remove the UUID from your exported .yml files. This is for example the case if you'd like to transfer configuration to a different site or for migrations.

I found a wonderful command written in this Gist by @DavMorr:

These are the simple steps to remove the UUID:

drupal config:export --directory=”[full-path-to-location]” --tar --remove-uuid --remove-config-hash

sed -i.bak '/^uuid: /d' ./*

The i.bak arg will create a backup of the affected file. When satistifed with the results, you can safely get rid of the .bak files:

rm *.bak
