Examples

List Migratable Environments

$ scoop migrate list
📦 Migratable Environments

  pyenv-virtualenv:
    • myproject (Python 3.12.0)
    • webapp (Python 3.11.8)

  conda:
    • ml-env (Python 3.10.4)

Migrate Single Environment

$ scoop migrate @env myproject
✓ Migrated 'myproject' from pyenv-virtualenv
  Source: ~/.pyenv/versions/myproject
  Target: ~/.scoop/virtualenvs/myproject

Migrate All

$ scoop migrate all
✓ Migrated 3 environments
  • myproject (pyenv-virtualenv)
  • webapp (pyenv-virtualenv)
  • ml-env (conda)

JSON Output

$ scoop migrate list --json
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "environments": [
      {
        "name": "myproject",
        "source": "pyenv",
        "python_version": "3.12.0"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Migration Process

  1. Discovery: Scans configured source paths for virtual environments
  2. Extraction: Identifies Python version and installed packages
  3. Recreation: Creates new scoop environment with same Python version
  4. Package Install: Reinstalls packages using uv pip install
  5. Cleanup: Originals are preserved by default; --delete-source removes them after successful migration

Notes

  • Original environments are preserved by default; use --delete-source to remove sources after migration
  • Package versions are preserved where possible
  • Migration creates fresh environments using uv for improved performance
