# Contentstack Command-line Interface (CLI) - Migrate Content using CLI

This page explains what content migration means in Contentstack and points developers to the CLI guides needed to export and import content when moving assets and entries from one stack to another.

## Migrate Content using CLI

Content migration refers to moving content from one [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack) to another. If you have content in one stack and want to move it to another, doing so manually will consume time and effort. By running a series of commands in CLI, you can easily migrate [assets](/docs/content-managers/working-with-assets/about-assets) and [entries](/docs/content-managers/working-with-entries/about-entries) from one stack to another in quick time.

Let's get started with migration by referring to the following guides:
- [Export Content using CLI](/docs/developers/cli/export-content-using-cli)
- [Import Content using CLI](/docs/developers/cli/import-content-using-cli)
