Here's my drushrc.php for a site. As a prerequisite, I've downloaded the drush script and put it in the same folder as the rc script.

include_once 'drush_cmi_tools.drush.inc';

$ignored_modules = implode(',', [
  'devel',
  'kint',
  'stage_file_proxy',
]);
$ignore_list = (dirname(__FILE__)) . '/config-ignore.yml';
$delete_list = (dirname(__FILE__)) . '/config-delete.yml';
$destination = (dirname(__FILE__)) . '/../config/sync';
$install_once = (dirname(__FILE__)) . '/../config/install_once';
$options['shell-aliases']['too-cexy'] = "cexy --skip-modules=$ignored_modules --destination=$destination --ignore-list=$ignore_list";
$options['shell-aliases']['too-cimy'] = "cimy --source=$destination --install=$install_once --delete-list=$delete_list";

Here's my example config-ignore.yml:

ignore:
ignore:
  - devel.settings
  - smtp.settings
  - stage_file_proxy.settings
  - system.menu.devel

config-delete.ym (empty for now):

delete: {}

Any suggestions on how to make this more slick? How can I depend on the drush script via composer and more importantly, move it into the right location?

To be honest, I wrap it all in a build tool. In this case, make so my Makefile defines all the parameters.

Then its just make import or make export.

Make is our personal preference having tried Robo and Phing.

Snippet from our Makefile

APP_ROOT=./app
CONFIG_DIR=$(CURDIR)/config-export
CONFIG_DELETE=$(CURDIR)/drush/config-delete.yml
CONFIG_IGNORE=$(CURDIR)/drush/config-ignore.yml
CONFIG_INSTALL=$(CURDIR)/config-install
CONFIG_SKIP_MODULES=devel

import:
    drush -r $(APP_ROOT) cimy -y --skip-modules=$(CONFIG_SKIP_MODULES) --source=$(CONFIG_DIR) --install=$(CONFIG_INSTALL) --delete-list=$(CONFIG_DELETE)

export:
    drush -r $(APP_ROOT) cexy -y --skip-modules=$(CONFIG_SKIP_MODULES) --destination=$(CONFIG_DIR) --ignore-list=$(CONFIG_IGNORE)

Interesting. Any chance on getting cimy/cexy into drush core?

[larowlan]

Yep, moshe had indicated he'd support those flags in drush core, just need someone to write a PR

Another use case I just found for cimy/cexy is to ignore secured configuration i.e. the uid/pwd for my smtp server. This let's me put in an empty password string into the one time install folder, then I can manually configure/override it. No password in git!!!
