Hi all!
I work at a company that recently got acquired, and as I was moving my projects folders around to reflect that change, I noticed that I was losing my cursor chat history. That was a bummer, because it had a lot of interesting prompts and conversations that sometimes I used to look back at, and they got lost.
To prevent this from happening, I built a tool that you can use to move your projects around without losing your cursor chat history. With it:
The chat history continues to work.
References to the project (like in the “Open Recent” menu or the main Cursor window) are updated to the new place.
Usually avoids a full codebase re-index (embedding pointers are copied with workspace storage).
And you won’t have to worry about a supply chain attack since this package has zero dependencies.
You can use it by calling: npx cursor-migrate --from ~/Project/Personal/my-app --to ~/Project/Sidequests/my-app
If you want to check out the package, you can find it here https://www.npmjs.com/package/cursor-migrate
I hope this is as useful to you as it is to me.
