Move from CodeSandbox

Most ordinary web projects migrate cleanly when the repository/package manifests are complete.

Typical migration: Easy · Best method: Git · ZIP

Before You Move

  • Push/commit the latest project.
  • Record environment variables and sandbox-specific configuration.
  • Note the dev-server command and port.

Migration Steps

  1. 1. Import — Clone the repository or import ZIP.
  2. 2. Install — Install dependencies from the project manifest.
  3. 3. Configure — Recreate environment variables and required services.
  4. 4. Run — Start the dev server/build command.
  5. 5. Verify — Open the private preview and check browser/runtime logs.

Verify

  • Dependencies install.
  • Dev server binds successfully.
  • Preview loads.
  • API/backend calls work.
  • Git status is clean.

Common Issues

  • Sandbox only configuration — Translate platform-specific config into ordinary project scripts/environment variables.
  • Snapshots/hosted state — Source migration does not automatically copy proprietary sandbox snapshots or external data.
