Move from Replit

Before You Move

• Commit/push the latest source or download a project export.
• Record environment variables and secrets separately.
• Note the current run command, ports, database services and deployment assumptions.

Migration Steps

1. 1. Export — Push the project to Git when possible, or download/export the project files.
2. 2. Import — Clone/open the repository in Interactive Shell or import the ZIP.
3. 3. Dependencies — Install dependencies from package manifests inside the Interactive Terminal.
4. 4. Configuration — Recreate environment variables and translate useful `.replit` or `replit.nix` intent into normal project setup/run commands.
5. 5. Run — Start the project and verify private preview, ports and build output.

Where Things Go

Verify

• All source files are present.
• Dependency installation succeeds.
• The run/build command completes.
• Private preview loads on the expected port.
• Environment variables and external services work.
• Git status contains only intended changes.

Common Issues

• Replit specific config — Interactive Shell does not promise direct `.replit` or `replit.nix` execution. Reproduce the important setup/run behavior with ordinary project commands.
• Secrets — Secrets do not migrate inside source exports. Recreate them deliberately.
• Hosted databases — Export or reconnect data separately; source migration does not copy hosted database contents.
