Metabase Import/Export Tool

This repository contains tools to export and import Metabase questions, dashboards, and queries using the Metabase API. The purpose of this repository is to provide an easy way to manage Metabase content through version control and automation.

   git clone https://github.com/githubnext/workspace-blank.git
   cd workspace-blank

2. Install the required dependencies:

Setting Up GitHub Actions

To automate the import and export process using GitHub Actions, follow these steps:

1. Create a new file in the .github/workflows directory called metabase-import-export.yml.
