Copy database schema to new appwrite environment

Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to duplicate an environment so that I don't have to manually replicate the schema I'm using in my dev environment. Is there a way to do this using the API or an SDK?

If you have the appwrite cli you can do appwrite init collection to pull down a json representation of your database structure, then do appwrite deploy collection to deploy it.

oh that's awesome i didn't know about the cli!

thanks!
