Team collaboration requires authentication and generated tests to share.

bugster sync

Synchronize your local test specifications with the remote Bugster platform for team collaboration.

bugster sync [OPTIONS]

  • --push - Upload local test specifications to remote without downloading changes
  • --branch BRANCH - Synchronize with a specific branch instead of the default
  • --clean-remote - Delete remote test specifications that don’t exist locally
  • --dry-run - Preview sync operations without making actual changes
  • --prefer CHOICE - Prefer ‘local’ or ‘remote’ when resolving conflicts

Common Issues

Sync Failures:

  • Try again after a few minutes

Merge Conflicts:

  • Pull latest changes first: bugster sync --pull
  • Use --prefer local or --prefer remote for automatic resolution
