Move from Bolt

Keep the generated app, then move from prompt-first building into a complete development workflow.

Typical migration: Easy–Moderate · Best method: Git / StackBlitz · Project export

Before You Move

  • Open/export the latest project or connect it through Git/StackBlitz.
  • Record environment variables, database URLs and API keys.
  • Note deployment and backend integrations.

Migration Steps

  1. 1. Export — Use Git/StackBlitz or available project export to get the source.
  2. 2. Import — Clone/import into Interactive Shell.
  3. 3. Dependencies — Install project dependencies.
  4. 4. Configuration — Restore environment variables and backend credentials.
  5. 5. Run — Start the app, verify preview and continue with code or AI Agents.

Verify

  • Dependencies install.
  • Frontend loads.
  • Authentication/database/API integrations work.
  • Environment variables are present.

Common Issues

  • Backend integrations — Supabase/database/auth state lives outside the source repository and must be reconnected.
  • Secrets — Never expect exported source to contain secret values.
  • Generated config — Review generated scripts rather than assuming platform-specific defaults transfer unchanged.
