Import and export | DevStash Docs

Your stash is yours to take with you. Everything here is in Settings, under Data.

Export

Export JSON downloads every item and collection with its tags, in a format DevStash can import again.
Export Markdown downloads one .md file: a section per collection with its items in order, then the items that are not in any collection, grouped by type.

Import

Import from JSON takes a file exported from DevStash, or one written in the same format. Before anything is saved you see how many items of each type, collections, and tags the file holds.

With Skip duplicates on, an item with the same title and type as one you already have is skipped.
Collections are matched by name. Items for a collection you already have are added to the end of it.
File and image uploads are switched off for now, so file and image items in an import are skipped.
When it finishes, it tells you how many items and collections were imported and how many were skipped.

A minimal import file with one note in one collection:

JSON

{
  "version": 1,
  "collections": [{ "name": "CI/CD" }],
  "items": [
    {
      "title": "Deploy checklist",
      "type": "note",
      "content": "## Before you deploy\n\n- Run the tests",
      "tags": ["deploy"],
      "collections": ["CI/CD"]
    }
  ]
}
