Sharing
Systems are designed in a way to be highly customizable. A System can be exported & imported. This allows scaling with ClearBlade to be very easy. Developers can create their own IPM package for other developers to use for their usecase.
Export a system from the system’s homepage to a new GitHub repository or download it as a zip file onto your computer. The system can be imported by CLI (recommended) or by creating a new system.
