Commit the changes in the <code>.ddev</code> folder after this plugin installs. This saves other users from having to install this integration.</p></blockquote> <p>Other projects where <code>.ddev</code> has been committed.</p> <p><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/og/-/tree/2.x?ref_type=heads">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/og/-/tree/2.x?ref_type=heads</a><br> <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/domain_perm/-/tree/2.0.x?ref_type=heads">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/domain_perm/-/tree/2.0.x?ref_type=heads</a><br> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_image_field/issues/3449084">https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_image_field/issues/3449084</a><br> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/date_filter/issues/3532384">https://www.drupal.org/project/date_filter/issues/3532384</a><br> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/calendar/issues/3518635">https://www.drupal.org/project/calendar/issues/3518635</a><br> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/label_help/issues/3449755">https://www.drupal.org/project/label_help/issues/3449755</a></p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <ul> <li>Commit the <code>.ddev/</code> folder and simplified <code>config.yaml</code> file</li> <li>Since DDEV doesn't auto-install Drush anymore, add <code>drush/drush</code> to dev dependencies of the composer.json for standard cli tooling access. Note this module currently doesn't have any custom Drush commands, but it helps to have a fully functional DDEV local environment including drush, and it seems this is currently the only way.</li> <li>Add CONTRIBUTING.md to document how to use DDEV Drupal Contrib and keep our dependencies up-to-date.</li> </ul> > Related issue: [Issue #3532385](https://www.drupal.org/node/3532385)
