What is the command that replaces 'drush variable-set'? In Drupal 8 the Drush command drush variable-set no longer works. 

From reading (here) it appears that Drupal 8 has a new "configuration" system that replaces the old (Drupal &lt;=7) "variables". But what is the new Drush command to achieve the same ends? 

Specifically I want to convert the commands: 

drush variable-set site_mail someone@email.com
drush variable-set update_notify_emails someone@email.com


to the new Drupal8/Drush8 equivalent...
Following some more research it seems the new command is:


drush config-set &lt;config-name&gt; &lt;key&gt; (where the old format was drush variable-set &lt;name&gt; &lt;value&gt;). Alias: cset.


So I'm not totally sure that I have this right (so comment and/or another answer from someone who does would be great...), but it seems that the config that includes emails are: contact.form.feedback recipients, update.settings notification.emails and system.site mail.

This update is the result for some good discussion (below).
Note that some settings are arrays (rather than strings):

www/drupal8# drush config-get update.settings notification
'update.settings:notification':
  emails:
    - admin@example.com
  threshold: all


to update this you need to run:

drush -y config-set update.settings notification.emails.0 admin2@example.com

Note: Drush 7 no longer supports Drupal 8, but this still applies.
