Rough migration guide for Atom to Pulsar on Linux

migrate-atom-to-pulsar.sh

#! /usr/bin/env bash
# NOTE: This worked for my migration from Pop!_OS 22.04 Atom 1.63.1 which was installed with flatpak (user)

# First, download and install the deb package found here https://pulsar-edit.dev/download.html

# for flatpak Atom migration to Pulsar deb - copy configuration and packages
rsync -av ~/.var/app/io.atom.Atom/data/ ~/.pulsar/

# for deb Atom migration to Pulsar deb - copy configuration and packages
#rsync -av ~/.atom/ ~/.pulsar/

This GPU error is not necessary anymore - it's fixed on the latest master branch :)

Once the stable release (beta) is updated, I'll edit this.

Also ideally our next release will contain fixes for the desktop file where you have to specify the icon. But otherwise this looks super rad!

Appreciate you putting this out there, and would you mind if it was linked to within any of our docs?

@confused-Techie good to hear about more upcoming fixes. You're welcome to link, but once those fixes are in stable, this is really just an rsync or cp command from one of two source directories and should probably just be included in the docs directly.

@curiousercreative yeah fair point, well if anything if we do include it might as well give some credit.

But regardless thanks!

@confused-Techie @mauricioszabo just migrated another machine with the updated v1.101.0-beta and I see that the GPU error, desktop icon AND CLI for opening a project are all working nicely. I've updated this gist to simply copy Atom config files.

Fantastic, glad to see all those fixes are working for you currently, and glad to see this got updated!
