Migrate a mixed folder

Analyze a disorganized folder and create a reviewable organization plan before moving anything.

Use migration when an existing directory contains mixed projects, accidental boundaries, or a structure that should be improved rather than merely initialized.

Generate a plan

folderbase migrate /path/to/project --destination Organized

Folderbase analyzes the folder, asks bounded questions when consequences cannot be inferred safely, and creates a proposed transaction.

Review before applying

Confirm:

  • which files and directories will move;
  • where the new Folderbase boundary will live;
  • which files remain untouched;
  • how conflicts and rollback will be handled;
  • whether ignore-policy changes are included.

The proposal is not authority to apply itself. The user or sponsoring system must approve the change explicitly.

After migration

Validate the destination and inspect the resulting workspace:

folderbase validate Organized --json
folderbase workspace list Organized --json

Folderbase uses durable transaction execution so interrupted publication can be recovered without accepting a partially applied result as canonical.
