bd export

Export all issues to JSONL (newline-delimited JSON) format.

Each line is a complete JSON object representing one issue, including its labels, dependencies, and comments.

This command is for issue export, migration, and interoperability. It exports records from the issues table; it is not a full database backup and does not capture Dolt branches, commit history, working-set state, or non-issue tables. For supported full backup/restore flows, use 'bd backup init', 'bd backup sync', and 'bd backup restore'.

By default, exports only regular issues (excluding infrastructure beads like agents, rigs, roles, and messages). Use --all to include everything.

Memories (from 'bd remember') are excluded by default because they may contain sensitive agent context. Use --include-memories or --all to include them.

EXAMPLES: bd export # Export issues to stdout bd export -o issues.jsonl # Export issues to file bd export --include-memories # Export issues + memories bd export --all -o full.jsonl # Include infra + templates + gates + memories bd export --scrub -o clean.jsonl # Exclude test/pollution records

--all Include all records (infra, templates, gates, memories)
--include-infra Include infrastructure beads (agents, rigs, roles, messages)
--include-memories Include persistent memories (from 'bd remember') in the export
-o, --output string Output file path (default: stdout)
--scrub Exclude test/pollution records
