Eject an existing Base44 app to a local project. This command downloads the frontend code and backend resources from a selected app and sets up a local project with its own app ID.
The ejected project has an empty database. Your entity schemas are copied, but not your data. Your original Base44 app remains unchanged and the 2 projects are independent after ejection.
For a step-by-step guide, see Quickstart: From an Existing Base44 App.
