Export issues to JSONL format
-o output-file

Export all issues to JSON Lines format (one JSON object per line).

Usage

  • To stdout: bd export
  • To file: bd export -o issues.jsonl
  • Filter by status: bd export --status open

Issues are sorted by ID for consistent diffs, making git diffs readable.

Automatic Export

The daemon automatically exports to .beads/issues.jsonl after any CRUD operation (5-second debounce). Manual export is rarely needed unless you need a custom output location or filtered export.

Export is used for:

  • Git version control
  • Backup
  • Sharing issues between repositories
  • Data migration
