Move to another machine

Export your settings, answers and keys, and import them elsewhere.

Move to another machine

bxcachy settings export my-settings.tar.gz
bxcachy settings import my-settings.tar.gz --yes

Export bundles ~/.config/bxcachy (answers, shortcuts, runner and update settings) without secrets, backups or state. Import backs up each existing file as NAME.bak-STAMP first and refuses archives with paths outside bxcachy/.

Keys travel separately and encrypted: bxcachy secrets export and bxcachy secrets import.

To set up a new machine without touching the old one, export only the wizard answers: bxcachy init --export answers.json, then on the new machine bxcachy init --from answers.json, or run unattended with --answers answers.json --yes.
