A view of Views
I'd like to create a view of all the Views on my Drupal 8 site. Ideally, such a view would detail where blocks are placed, what pages are created, which views are disabled, etc. Not having much luck with the UI. Looking for some insight. As shown by the admin page at "/admin/structure/views", some of the data is available and accessible.

Best practices for backing up necessary site files before updating D8 using the command line
Any advice for backing up the site using the command line before updating D8? I figured out how to back up the entire site to a .tar.gz file (after backing up the database first) but that seems...excessive? Unnecessary?
That being said, it was still faster than backing up files using FTP.
Thanks for any advice out there!
Read more#states option in Drupal FORMS
This is not so much of a "Discussion" as a documentation of the resolution from todays meeting and an VERY appreciative "THANK YOU" to Jennifer for her mentorship. Jennifer, YOU ROCK!
Here was my solution for "ajax-ish" state detection on a Managed_File element within a Drupal Form.
$form['entity_ajax']['entity_type'] = array(
'#title' => t('Entity Type'),
'#type' => 'select',
'#description' => 'Select the entity type to import.',
'#options' => array_combine($entity_types, $entity_types),

*Coughs into microphone* Testing 123
After our last Drupal Group meeting (which was online and ROCKED, yo!!...,) I wanted to inquire, "phpMyAdmin or NOT to phpMyAdmin?" That is the question (snicker).
As I have been experimenting with development/test/amoeba-Drupal-environments using Cloudways, I have always added phpMyAdmin to the show. I know during our last meeting I asked if that was necessary and the answer was, No. What I'm now curious about is, what does phpMyAdmin bring to the party that I will miss if I don't continue to add it?
Thanks for any feedback given!
