What is the easiest way to back up an assistant project created with the “Actions Console” web version?

Question

I am happy with how easy the "action console" can be used in the Chrome Browser. Out of curiosity i also installed the CLI-option on my Ubuntu system and played a bit around with it.

The difference here is obvious that with the CLI you always have your project on your own system. Does this mean that a "pull" command via the CLI the easiest way to backup a Project created with the "Actions Console" in the web-browser? Or does anyone know of any plans in adding something like a "download project as zip" in the Actions Console?

Answer 1

The easiest way to backup Actions Builder projects is to use the gactions CLI . The pull command will download all project files, allowing you to modify your project offline and locally.

You can then push the local files back to the same project to update your action.

When you have downloaded all the files, you can then further back them up in whatever mechanism you'd prefer. This could be bundling everything into a .zip file or using a version control system like git.
