Installing Drupal

Most forums I search recommend not using Composer to do the live deployment to production site for Drupal 8.

This tutorial suggests that Composer should be used:

I usually don't use composer on the live deployment process, but this looks like a pretty good option.

Hello All,

I've installed Drupal 8 using instructions from (Composer to Install Drupal):

Using drupal-composer/drupal-project

To do the default install:

Run composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev my_site_name_dir --no-interaction

=========

Now it's time to install modules using Composer. I am not yet Git or Composer savvy.

I've done 4 Drupal 8 installs in the last 9months (composer / git - local build then deployed to cPanel);

and in all cases each step in development process was accompanied by errors.

Sometimes the errors are related to bugs like this:
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3045349

Sometimes it's a requires/dependency issue related to composer json or updating core

Sometimes it's UUID or Database related.

Hello everyone,

I am new to Drupal and trying to install Drupal 8 with commerce 2, I did all the following variation but every time I asked to provide  Authentication required (git.drupal.org) with username and password and no matter what I enter I will get this error:

1st- Installing on localhost (wamp), I downloaded the "commerce kickstart" and used composer install command to download all dependencies. 

2nd- Installing on localhost (wamp), using "composer create-project drupalcommerce/project-base foliage --stability dev", same problem.

Hello! I am very new to Drupal. The website I was asked to manage has Drupal 8+. Lately I have been modifying css, but that`s about it.

Randomly, the website will not launch and is displaying this error: The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. I really don`t know how to troubleshoot this. I read online that you should check the watchdogs file, which I did, but it`s contents are not pointing to the url I accessed. 

The Media module is advancing and it seems to be the future of Drupal asset management. While the core setup is sufficient for smaller sites with a little media entries, it gets challenging finding the image you are searching for within 1000 entries. sure, we can say that the editors are responsible for naming, but are there any practices which make it more comfortable?
