Example
In Drupal 7 and lower, your configuration is probably stored using the Features module. To update a feature with changes from the databases use this command:
drush features-update [feature-name] // e.g. drush features-update content_type_news
You can also use this shorthand:
drush fu [feature-name]
Drupal 8 using "Configuration Management". To export your configuration with drush use this command
drush config-export // optionally add -y to not have to verify it
You can also use the shorthand command
drush cex -y
