So I have this Drupal 8 site with its custom theme, some blocks, menus, content types, views and other more stuff. What I am required to do is create a site distribution of this site for drupal.org, but I have absolutely no idea of how to do it.

I created the profile folder in doctoot/profiles and created the info.yml with the profile basic information. I also have the .install and .profile files but they are empty. These files were created using drupal generate:profile

After that I exported the config YAML files using drush config:export, but they were created in config\sync in the profile folder, but I saw in another distributions that these files are located in config\install rather than sync,and I don't know if that makes a difference.

I don't have anything besides that and I don't know what to do after that to configure things in the distribution in terms of theme and configuration. I have the project page in drupal.org already with the git configuration. Hope you can help me with this issue.
