abstract-project-duplication

This script copies the master branch of a Versions project into another Versions project, including one in another organization.

Technical Considerations

• Libraries will be copied as regular files and will need to be turned back into libraries (see Abstract's Libraries article for instructions)
• Symbol references may need to be corrected (See Abstract's Managing Libraries article for instructions)
• Only the master branch will be copied but having open branches does not interfere
• The script uses bash to copy directories, it does not use the CLI or git

Instructions

1. Merge all branches with wanted changes to master
2. Create a new project to paste into on the Desktop app
3. Help > Enable Development Menu
4. In the paste project, download the project via "..."/right click menu > Development > Force Sync Project
5. Run the script
6. Go through the Terminal prompts
7. The prompts will require project IDs which can be copied via the project's "..."/right click menu > Development > Copy project ID
8. Refresh the Desktop app CMD + R
9. Commit the changes that appear on master (the commit can take a few seconds to appear)
10. Confirm the sync went through and copied project appears on the Web app
11. Help > Disable Development Menu
