Enable development mode.
Disable Drupal caches and enable twig debugging without editing settings*.php and *services.yml files.

Disable Drupal (>=8.0) caching during development can be annoying. Mix module provides a simple checkbox to help switch between Dev and Prod mode (by disable/enable caches, twig debug, CSS/JS aggregation, error message display, etc..), which makes module and theme development much easier.

Show form ID
Show form ID and form alter function template before forms to make form altering easier.

Config import ignore
By enabling "Config import ignore" in the Mix module, we can easily run different modules and configurations between environments without having to worry about overriding the Production configuration. Read More.

Custom Error Page
Get rid of the default pale error page, replace it with custom messages or a well designed HTML page to provide a better user experience for clients and visitors. When "Enable development mode" is checked, extra error messages and backtrace information can also be displayed for development and debugging purposes.

Remove X-Generator
Remove the meta tag <meta name="Generator" content="Drupal 10 (https://www.drupal.org)"> from the page source code and remove the "X-Generator" in the HTTP header to obfuscate that your website is running on Drupal.

NOTE: This can't prevent others from knowing the site is running on Drupal (Why?), but it is a reasonable idea sometimes when you don't want it too obvious.

Environment Indicator
Add custom text (e.g. Development/Dev/Stage/Test or any other text) at the top of the site to help you identify the current environment.

Hide revision field
Hide the revision field for all users except UID 1 to provide a clear UI.

Installation Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further information, see Installing Drupal Modules.
