Codex Migrate works directly with a copied `.codex/` directory or a legacy
minimal `Codex/` backup. New backups are complete copies stored in a visible
`Codex_backup/` folder.
The importer uses rollout JSONL files as the source of truth and can merge
selected sessions into an existing local Codex environment.

## Features

- Migrate active and archived sessions across macOS, Windows, Linux, and WSL.
- Select individual projects and sessions before importing.
- Map old project paths to folders on the new device.
- Apply parent-directory mappings to many projects at once.
- Repair project paths in an existing `.codex` directory.
- Detect identical, prefix-compatible, and divergent session UUIDs.
- Create rollback snapshots before writes and delete old snapshots from the GUI.
- Export selected conversations as self-contained HTML, including embedded user images and tool screenshots.
- Use a native GUI in Chinese or English, following the system language by default.
- Use the same migration engine from the command line.

## Backup contents

The backup exporter copies every file and directory under the selected Codex
home into:

```text
selected-folder/
└── Codex_backup/
```

This includes sessions, archived sessions, SQLite databases, Skills,
configuration, plugins, logs, caches, rollback records, and other contents
present in the source directory. Root-level login credential files such as
`auth.json` are intentionally excluded.

> [!WARNING]
> Although login credential files are excluded, a complete backup still
> contains private conversations, commands, output, images, local paths,
> configuration, and logs. Keep it private and protected. Quit Codex before
> exporting so database and WAL files are copied consistently.

## Installation

Download a build for your platform from the repository’s **Releases** page.

- Windows: extract the ZIP and run `Codex Migrate.exe`.
- macOS: extract the ZIP and move `Codex Migrate.app` to Applications. On first
  launch, Control-click the app and choose **Open**. If macOS still blocks it,
  use **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway**.
- Linux: extract the archive and run `codex-migrate-gui`.

Release builds are not currently signed with commercial certificates or
notarized by Apple. Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning.
Always verify the release checksum before running a downloaded binary.

## Build from source

Requirements:

- Rust stable toolchain
- Platform build tools supported by `eframe`

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ChenglongLi777/codex-migrate.git
cd codex-migrate
cargo test --all-targets --features gui
cargo build --release --features gui --bins
```

macOS application bundle:

```bash
./scripts/package-macos.sh
```

Generated executables:

```text
target/release/codex-migrate
target/release/codex-migrate-gui
```

## Typical GUI workflow

1. Quit Codex Desktop and all Codex CLI sessions.
2. Select the old `.codex/`, `Codex_backup/`, a legacy minimal `Codex/`, or a parent containing exactly one of them.
3. Select the projects and sessions to import.
4. Bind each selected old project path to its new local folder, apply a parent mapping, or choose history-only recovery.
5. Preview the merge plan.
6. Confirm the import and reopen Codex after completion.

## Merge rules

| Source and target state | Result |
| --- | --- |
| UUID does not exist locally | Import |
| UUID and content hash match | Skip and refresh indexes |
| Target rollout is a full prefix of source | Use the longer source |
| Source rollout is a full prefix of target | Keep the longer target |
| Same UUID has divergent content | Stop and report a conflict |

The tool does not splice divergent JSONL files or silently generate a new UUID.

## Safety

- Checks whether the target SQLite database is in use.
- Uses SQLite Online Backup for database snapshots.
- Stages rollout files before moving them into place.
- Updates only detected schema fields.
- Automatically restores the snapshot if an import fails.
- Stores rollback data under:

```text
$CODEX_HOME/migration_transactions/<TRANSACTION_ID>/
```

Deleting rollback data only removes the selected snapshot directories; it does not modify current sessions.

## CLI examples

```bash
codex-migrate export ~/.codex --output-parent ~/Backups
codex-migrate scan ~/Backups/Codex_backup

codex-migrate import ~/Backups/Codex_backup --dry-run \
  --map '/Users/alex/Projects=D:/Projects'

codex-migrate import ~/Backups/Codex_backup \
  --map '/Users/alex/Projects=D:/Projects'

codex-migrate rebind --codex-home ~/.codex \
  --map '/old/projects=/new/projects' --dry-run

codex-migrate export-html --codex-home ~/.codex --thread THREAD_ID
codex-migrate verify
codex-migrate rollback TRANSACTION_ID
```

Run `codex-migrate --help` for the complete interface.

## Project status

This project relies on local Codex storage structures that may change between Codex versions. Compatibility fixes and real-world reports are welcome. Before opening a bug report, remove conversations, credentials, usernames, and private paths from logs and screenshots.
