I realize there is a way to export a site currently, but that is really an export my entire development site to share/import in another copy of Local.

What I’m looking for is an import of a zipped up WP site similar to how Duplicator would zip up an entire WP site and then you could use Local tool to import that zip file locally. Many extra points if Local could also produce that zipped up file of only the WP site.

I realize a sync between Flywheel’s dashboard is planned, but many of us just aren’t using Flywheel. ☹

Looks like [Duplicator to move to Local from AMMPS. How?](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/duplicator-to-move-to-local-from-ammps-how/129) answers this.
