Strapi exports/import

im not sure if im expecting too much from this feature but if i export on a working installation and then run import on an empty one just using default export / import command no additional flags.
should that give me the exact same contents in the instance i import it on? because after import its still empty for me

Should work, but both instances should have exactly same code base

you mean exact same version or what do you mean with “exactly same codebase”

do i have to copy files over?

Like in terms of git repo, both instances should be on same commit

(all files under this/src)

ah i understand now

thank you very much

with “transfer” it is more forgiving ?

It only transfers content

Not content types

ah but export does do content types?

And transfer is more preferable

but how would i transfer the content types then ?

No both just transfer database records and images

You do git repo you commit project

You setup project on another machine, then you can transfer content

do you know of any scripts for this?

To do a git repo?

You don’t need script
