✅ - Equivalent of "amplify pull" for Gen 2?

[honest owl]

👋 in gen 2 this would effectively be git clone/git pull

[obtuse nebula]

hmmm, is it possible to just pull the backend and backend alone, especially if you want to use it with a separate frontend?

[honest owl]

are you looking to stand up another instance of your backend for another frontend or simply share the backend with another frontend?

[obtuse nebula]

trying to share it

just tried to do amplify pull anyways with my profile and the app ID and it says the Amplify AppID isn't found

[honest owl]

oh! in that case you can do ampx generate outputs --app-id <app-id> --branch <branch-name>

[obtuse nebula]

Hmmmm I ran npm create amplify@latest (I'm using Swift on the project I'm trying to pull it to) then npx ampx generate outputs --app-id <app-id> --branch <branch-name> (obviously not exactly but imagine I actually put in the app ID and branch name) and I get error:

InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid. InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid.

[ripe kayak]

are you logged in? you mentioned profiles, so did you add --profile <your-profile> to the end of your npx ampx generate command?

[honest owl]

ahh you don't need the amplify/ directory in this case. You can use npx to run the tooling from the npm registry to generate the outputs from another, existing app
