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. Export — Use Git/StackBlitz or available project export to get the source.
- 2. Import — Clone/import into Interactive Shell.
- 3. Dependencies — Install project dependencies.
- 4. Configuration — Restore environment variables and backend credentials.
- 5. Run — Start the app, verify preview and continue with code or AI Agents.
Where Things Go
| Bolt project | Interactive Shell project |
|---|
| Bolt chat/agent | AI Builder / AI Agents |
|---|
| Preview | Private Web Preview |
|---|
| Deployment | Publish supported web projects |
|---|
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.
