SKILL.md

Quick Start

nx import brings code from a source repository or folder into the current workspace, preserving commit history.

After nx 22.6.0, nx import responds with .ndjson outputs and follow-up questions. For earlier versions, always run with --no-interactive and specify all flags directly.

Run nx import --help for available options.

Make sure the destination directory is empty before importing.
EXAMPLE: target has libs/utils and libs/models; source has libs/ui and libs/data-access — you cannot import libs/ into libs/ directly. Import each source library individually.
