< p > If you use the < a href = "http://drupal.org/project/features" > Features module< / a > to manage your Drupal configuration, it can be time consuming to update features through the UI, especially if you are working on a remote server and need to keep downloading and uploading files.< / p >
< p > If you re-create a feature through the UI, you'll be prompted to download a new archive of the feature in its entirety onto your local computer. You could either commit this into a local repository and then pull it remotely, or use a tool such as SCP to upload the archive onto the server and commit it from there. You can simplify this process by using < a href = "http://drush.org" > Drush< / a > .< / p >

< p > A few times recently, I've had instances where < a href = "https://www.vagrantup.com" > Vagrant< / a > seems to have forgotten which virtual machine it's supposed to load, probably due to renaming a project directory or the .vagrant directory being moved accidentally.< / p >
