Move from Windsurf
Source migration is usually straightforward; focus on the AI and runtime workflow you want afterward.
Typical migration: Easy · Best method: Local folder · Git · ZIP
Before You Move
- Ensure files/Git are current.
- Record project-specific tasks/settings.
- Choose the AI path you want in Interactive Shell.
Migration Steps
- 1. Open files — Use local folder, Git or ZIP.
- 2. AI — Configure Ollama or BYOK AI as desired.
- 3. Runtime — Install dependencies in Interactive Terminal when cloud execution is useful.
- 4. Verify — Run build/test/preview workflows.
