Serialization Migration / Bootstrap

Bootstrap workflow

1. Create sitecoreai.cli.json (or update existing) and add module paths.
2. Create a new module.module.json with a single include.
3. Run serialization pull --environment-name <name> to populate items.
4. Run serialization validate to confirm consistency.

Migration tips

• Start with small, well-scoped modules.
• Validate after each module before expanding scope.
• Use --include during early pulls to keep scope tight.

Optional packaging

• Create packages with serialization package create.
• Install packages with serialization package install --what-if first.
