# bd export

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

Generated from `bd help --doc 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, 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

```
bd export [flags]
```

**Flags:**

```
      --all                Include all records (infra, templates, gates, memories)
      --include-infra      Include infrastructure beads (agents, 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
```
