Rocket.new · GitHub Sync / ZIP extract
A Rocket.new project is prompted Build generation (Next.js for web, Flutter for mobile), Chat/Visual edit/Code iteration, connectors, staging→production Launch, and optional GitHub Sync or ZIP download. Migration is pulling that tree into org Git, translating Rocket-assumed env and schemas into CI, and landing on a conventional host. You keep the product behavior; you stop needing Rocket Launch—or shared Context—to boot production.

Review methodologyCitation-ready answer
CodeCross LLC defines migrate-from-rocket as Rocket.new Build extraction (GitHub Sync or ZIP) into a standard owned deploy. Operators normalize Next.js or Flutter source, remap Supabase/Stripe connectors for a clean runner, and prove build → start without Rocket. Done when the destination boots from that checkout alone—no Launch panel, no workspace Context, no credit-backed host for production.
Why a raw Rocket ZIP fails on a standard host
CI images lack path assumptions Launch hid. Production env arrives empty if you only copied Staging. Flutter signing never lived in the ZIP. Shared Context is not source.
Credit-burn logs and Chat experiments that never hit disk need an include-or-drop pass. The extract is source, lockfiles, schema definitions, and a written connector map.
Replace “available because Launch just finished” with install, build, schema apply, and a host start. Fail the pipeline if deploy only works from the Launch UI.
Export names from both tabs into a template. Mint new values on the destination. Rotate old Rocket-panel secrets after cutover.
Framework choice is fixed per Rocket task. Next.js typically benefits from two-way GitHub Sync into web CI; Flutter needs mobile signing and a different start command.
The extract sequence that actually boots
Product behavior stays. Launch chrome and shared Context leave. The destination is a conventional start command of a named checkout.
01
Leave Solve research exports and credit logs out. Capture env names Launch injected so CI does not invent config. Budget a paid ZIP if GitHub Sync is not live.
02
Version files or the base image. Fail if the app only boots when Rocket’s preview shell answers.
03
Never commit Rocket Environment dumps. Point Auth redirects and webhooks at the destination origin and verify on a clean runner.
04
The destination boots from that checkout alone. Launch is no longer required for production.
How to
GitHub Sync or ZIP plus normalization. Success is install → test → build → start with no open Rocket editor and no Launch for production.
Step 01
Take application source, lockfiles, generated schema definitions worth keeping, and a written map of connectors the Build authenticated. Leave Solve research exports, credit-burn logs, and unpublished Visual edit experiments out unless needed.
Step 02
List install, build, and start commands that succeed on a clean checkout. Pin Next.js or Flutter in version files. Replace Launch-only steps with install, build, schema apply, and a host start.
Step 03
Export names from Staging and Production tabs. Never commit Rocket Environment dumps. Update Auth callbacks that still hardcode Rocket Staging hostnames before DNS moves.
Step 04
Do not assume one ZIP covers both runtimes. Document which app type each Rocket task produced and migrate each with its own CI profile.
Step 05
install → test → build → start with Rocket closed. Rotate old Rocket-panel secret values after cutover. Launch is then optional.

Take application source, lockfiles, generated schema definitions worth keeping, and a written map of connectors the Build authenticated. Leave Solve research exports that are not code, credit-burn logs, and unpublished Visual edit experiments out unless needed. Capture env *names* Launch injected so CI does not invent config. Note: full ZIP download may require a paid plan—budget that before cutover day.
List install, build, and start commands that succeed on a clean checkout of the synced tree. Pin frameworks (Next.js or Flutter) in version files. Replace “available because Launch just finished” steps with install, build, migrate/schema apply, and a host start command. Fail the pipeline if deploy only works from the Rocket Launch UI. Encode Build assumptions as CI-tested modules.
CI images lack Rocket-injected path assumptions; schemas may still live only on Rocket-managed Supabase; secrets arrive empty; Auth still expects Rocket staging URLs. Launch chrome hid missing assets. Normalize install, lockfiles, schema ownership, and env first; then cut DNS. A green Launch is not a portable build artifact.
Treat them as separate release trains: Next.js typically benefits from GitHub Sync two-way flow into web CI; Flutter needs mobile signing, store tracks, and different start/build commands. Do not assume one ZIP covers both runtimes the same way. Document which app type each Rocket task produced—framework choice is fixed per task—and migrate each with its own CI profile.
Bring the GitHub Sync remote or ZIP and the start command Launch assumed. We will say whether this is a portable Next.js or Flutter tree — or an app that only runs while Rocket answers.
