How can I move my memories to a new computer/different location?

[thraizz]

Hi, I have two cases:

1. I am renaming a folder in my terminal. If I start claude code in the new folder, the memories are missing. How can I move all of them to this folder?
2. I want to share memories from my claude-mem installation with a coworker. How can I do this?

I checked the docs and the export/import seem to focus on exporting a certain area within a project, but i want to move everything.
Thanks!

Project memories are tied to the absolute folder path, so a folder rename looks like a brand-new project to claude-mem.

For moving/renaming a project, the cleanest option is to export from the old path and import from the new path:

cd /old/path/to/project
claude-mem export --all > claude-mem-export.json

cd /new/path/to/project
claude-mem import claude-mem-export.json

For moving everything to another machine or sharing the whole install with a coworker, copy the claude-mem data directory while Claude/claude-mem is not running:

# on the old machine
tar -czf claude-mem-data.tar.gz ~/.claude-mem

# on the new machine
tar -xzf claude-mem-data.tar.gz -C ~

If you’ve configured a custom data directory, copy that directory instead of ~/.claude-mem. Be aware that sharing the full data directory shares all memories, not just one project.
