# Transfer edge functions from one project to another

This guide shows how you can transfer your Edge Functions from one project to another using the Supabase CLI or the Supabase Dashboard.

## Pre-requisites

To follow through this guide, you need the following:

- You must have the right access privileges to both the source and target project
- You must have installed the [Supabase CLI tool](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started#installing-the-supabase-cli)
- Both source and target projects must be active

## Steps (using the Supabase CLI):

1. Login to your Supabase account (the account with the functions) using your terminal

```bash
supabase login
```

This should open up a web page with an access code. Copy the code, paste it in your terminal, and hit enter.

2. List all Edge Functions by running the following command

```bash
supabase functions list --project-ref your_project_ref
```

3. Download the function

```bash
supabase functions download function_name --project-ref your_project_ref
```

Repeat this step to download multiple functions.

This downloads the function(s) into `supabase/functions`. You can view the downloaded function(s) by running

```bash
ls supabase/functions
```

4. Link to the target project

```bash
supabase link --project-ref your_target_project_ref
```

5. Deploy function(s) to target project

```bash
supabase functions deploy --project-ref your_target_project_ref
```

This deploys all functions within the `supabase/functions` to the target project. You can confirm by checking your Edge Functions on [the project dashboard](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/functions)

## Steps (using the Supabase Dashboard):

1. In the source project, navigate to **Edge Functions** from the side menu

2. Using the `Download` button, download your desired function as zip:

3. In the target project, navigate to **Edge Functions** from the side menu

4. Click on the `Deploy a new function` button, select **Via Editor** operation

5. Drag and drop your downloaded function (the zip function from step 2) into the editor

6. Add your function name and click on the `Deploy function` button to deploy the function:

With this, you can transfer your edge functions between your Supabase projects.
