Export

Export all issues to JSON Lines format (one JSON object per line).

Usage

• To stdout: bd export
• To file: bd export -o issues.jsonl
• Filter by status: bd export --status open

Issues are sorted by ID for consistent diffs, making git diffs readable.

When to Use

Dolt is the primary storage backend, so manual export is rarely needed. Use bd export when you need:

• A JSONL snapshot for backup
• Data migration to another system
• Sharing issues outside the Dolt workflow
