+Sync a local site to/from a connected remote site. For hosting, deploying to

+- Target a specific remote with `--remote-site <url-or-id>`. A site need not be
+  pre-connected, but connecting it avoids re-entering the URL/ID each time.
+- Limit what syncs with `--options <all|sqls|uploads|plugins|themes|contents>`
+  (default: `all`).
+- **`push` overwrites the remote site; `pull` overwrites this local site** (and
+  stops/restarts it during the pull) — confirm the target before running either.
+- Not every site is syncable. If a push/pull reports the remote needs an upgrade,
+  a transfer, or admin access, resolve that first — it cannot sync until then.
+- To publish to a host that runs MySQL instead, export a MySQL dump — see the
+  Database section above.

-**Known limitations:**
+**Migrating to MySQL (production / live site):**
+
+SQLite is only how Studio stores data locally — it does NOT lock you in. Studio
+exports a **MySQL-compatible** database dump (standard `DROP TABLE` / `CREATE TABLE` /
+`INSERT INTO`) that imports cleanly into any MySQL or MariaDB host. No migration
+plugin is required, and the dump itself has no SQLite/MySQL compatibility issues.
+
+```bash
+studio export my-site.sql --mode db   # MySQL-compatible DB dump (preferred)
+```
+
+Then import it on the live host:
+```bash
+mysql -u <user> -p <database> < my-site.sql
+```
+
+For a full backup (files + database together), export a `.zip` instead:
+```bash
+studio export my-site.zip             # full site: wp-content + DB
+```
+
+The Studio MCP `site_export` tool (and Studio Code) can produce the same `.sql` dump
+from a single prompt — see the Studio MCP Server section above.
+
+**Known limitations:** (these apply to *running on* SQLite locally — not to the
+exported MySQL dump above)
 - No stored procedures or user-defined functions
 - No `FULLTEXT` index support (use a search plugin instead)
 - Do NOT reference `DB_NAME`, `DB_HOST`, `DB_USER`, or `DB_PASSWORD` constants — they are not defined on this site
