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. Export/connect — Use the project Git/source export path.
- 2. Import — Clone/import into Interactive Shell.
- 3. Configure — Restore environment variables and Supabase/backend credentials.
- 4. Install — Install dependencies normally.
- 5. Verify — Run the app and test auth, database, storage and API integrations.
Where Things Go
| Lovable project | Interactive Shell project |
|---|
| AI app builder | AI Builder / AI Agents |
|---|
| Supabase integration | Project dependency + credentials |
|---|
| Preview | Private Web Preview |
|---|
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.
