Pulling a Replicated CouchApp

Question

My colleague did

couchapp push

to my local couchdb and I can now access the index.html via localhost

However, now I want to pull the couchapp down to my local file system so I can make edits and then re-push it back to both of our Couch instances. I understand how couchapp push works but can't find documentation on any function such as

couchapp pull

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The command for this is couchapp clone:

couchapp help clone

Answer 2

couchapp clone http://user:pass@localhost:5984/great-blog/_design/great-design-doc

Answer 3

I know this question was asked with the Python Couchapp CLI tool in mind, but since that name is confusing and other people might arrive here just searching about CouchApps in general, I would like to recommend Ddoc Lab as a design document/couchapp builder tool that runs in the browser and can pull a replicated CouchApp easily:

By setting a new project, specifying the CouchDB database URL and design document ID, you can easily Import, then later push to Couch.
