# local export

## Usage

```sh
machine-memory local export [local-db-path] --remote
```

The command reads the selected SQLite database without modifying it, selects memories belonging to the current Git repository, and exports them into the configured remote D1 database. If the path is omitted, the configured local database path is used, falling back to `machine-memory.db` in the current directory.

The destination requires remote credentials from [`remote setup`](/human/remote/setup) or [`remote provision`](/human/remote/provision). Re-running the command is safe: exact active duplicates are skipped and existing remote records are not deleted or overwritten.

## After export

The export writes D1 records but does not backfill Vectorize embeddings. Run the existing [`reindex`](/human/reindex) command afterward:

```sh
machine-memory reindex --remote
```

The command preserves memory metadata and repairs `superseded_by` links when the corresponding source records are available.
