# Seed Production Data Into Another Branch
|
|
|
|
When you [create a Planetscale
|
|
branch](https://planetscale.com/docs/reference/branch) off `main`, it will only
|
|
copy over the schema. No data will be copied over to that new branch.
|
|
|
|
You can copy data over from the initial branch (`main`) in two steps from the
|
|
CLI. First, create a dump of the branch. Then restore the dump into your new
|
|
branch.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ pscale database dump database-name main --output ./dump
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That creates SQL files locally in the `dump` folder with both schema and data
|
|
statements.
|
|
|
|
That folder of SQL files can then be restored into one of your branches.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ pscale database restore-dump database-name branch-name --dir ./dump --overwrite-tables
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--overwrite-tables` flag is needed because your branch's existing schema
|
|
will conflict with the `create` schema statements in the SQL files.
|
|
|
|
You can `pscale shell` into that branch and run a `select ...` statement to
|
|
check out the data.
