Move from Lovable

Take ownership of the generated source and continue development with normal project tools.

Typical migration: Easy–Moderate · Best method: Git · Project source

Before You Move

  • Ensure the Git/project source is current.
  • Record Supabase project details, environment variables and API credentials.
  • Note any hosted deployment assumptions.

Migration Steps

  1. 1. Export/connect — Use the project Git/source export path.
  2. 2. Import — Clone/import into Interactive Shell.
  3. 3. Configure — Restore environment variables and Supabase/backend credentials.
  4. 4. Install — Install dependencies normally.
  5. 5. Verify — Run the app and test auth, database, storage and API integrations.

Verify

  • App builds.
  • Auth works.
  • Database/API calls work.
  • No secrets are missing.

Common Issues

  • Supabase/backend — Hosted backend state does not move with source. Reconnect to the existing service or migrate it separately.
  • Generated environment files — Do not commit secrets merely to make the migration easier.
