Type	Description
Theme	This will prompt you to select pre-rendered themes that Storyblok has made. After selecting a theme, you will be prompted to type in your space ID so that the project can be tied to a space on Storyblok. Then, it will ask you for your domain URL and theme token. Finally, it will git-clone the repository for you with all your information pre-populated.
Boilerplate	This will bring up a selection of boilerplates that can be used with your coding language of choice: JavaScript (Node.js and Vue.js), Python (Django), Ruby (Sinatra), and PHP (Silex). Then, the GitHub repo for the boilerplate of choice will be cloned. After, you will be prompted to type in your space ID so that the project can be tied to a space on Storyblok.
Fieldtype	This will automatically git-clone our fieldtype repo.

Download your space's components schema as json

The following command allows you to save your components schemas somewhere save (git, svn) and also allows you to migrate components between different spaces. Download your components json:

storyblok pull-components --space <SPACE_ID>

Use your Space ID to access this feature.
To access your space id go to {1} Settings, then {2} Space. Your {3} Space ID should be displayed.

Push your components file to your/another space

To push your downloaded components schema to another space you can execute the following command. Make sure to pass the right path/url of your components file you’ve downloaded as last parameter:

storyblok push-components --space <DEST_SPACE_ID> {{path/url}}

sync

You can sync components, folder, roles, datasources or stories between spaces.

storyblok sync --type <COMMAND> --source <SPACE_ID> --target <SPACE_ID>


Options	Description

source	the source space to use to sync
target	the target space to use to sync
region	your space region (default: eu). If your space was created under the US region, you should use us instead.

storyblok sync --type components --source 00001 --target 00002

/* Sync components and stories from `00001` space to `00002` space */
storyblok sync --type components,stories --source 00001 --target 00002

rollback-migration

The rollback-migration command gives the ability to undo changes made from the execution of the last run-migrations command.
