How do you override templates in Drupal?

Answer: To override templates in Drupal, create a customized version of the template file in your theme’s directory. This typically involves:

1. Locate the Original Template: Find the original template file you want to override, usually in the core or module directory (e.g., `node.html.twig`).

2. Copy the Template: Copy the file to your theme directory under `themes/custom/your_theme/templates`.

3. Rename the Template (if needed): If necessary, rename the file to follow Drupal’s naming conventions, such as adding a prefix like `node–article.html.twig` for specific content types.

4. Clear Cache: After creating or modifying the template, clear the Drupal cache to see the changes (admin/config/development/performance).

5. Modify the Template: Edit the new template file as needed to change the output.

By following these steps, you can successfully override templates in Drupal.
