Loading the most recent database dump file

Prerequisite: You have a backups folder in path example-drupal/backups at the same level than /web.

$ cd example-drupal
$ latest_dump=$(ls ./backups -ABrt1 --group-directories-first | tail -n1)
$ ddev import-db --src=backups/$latest_dump

Getting an updated database dump file

$ ddev export-db --file backups/db.sql.gz

Using the current date for naming the database dump file

$ date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
$ ddev export-db --file=./backups/db_$date.sql.gz

The most basic operations with config files

From config files to database (passive -> active).

$ ddev drush cim -y

From the database to config files (active -> passive).

$ ddev drush cex -y
