Differentiate Websites using Environment Indicator in Drupal maintenance support plans 8

As a web developer, you probably build your sites first in a local environment (aka localhost), then you commit all your changes to a staging server (i.e. an online server to which only you or the development team has access) and if everything works fine in the staging server, you’ll commit these changes to a production or live server (that’s your online site).

However, you don’t have a way to differentiate between your local, your staging and your production environments apart from the address box of your browser, so it’s very easy to mix up everything and that could lead to complications. The worst case scenario is making changes directly to your live site without testing and breaking it. In order to prevent this, you can use the Environment Indicator module.

The Environment Indicator module adds a visual hint to your site, that way you’ll always be aware of the environment you’re working on. We’re going to cover installation and usage of this module in this tutorial.
