From Big Sur to M5

Hello everyone,
I’m thinking of replacing my iMac which has served me well for a long time but is now stuck on Big Sur with a 15" MacBook Air (M5 chip, 24GB 1TB SSD).
I believe the 15" screen will be sufficient for working with Wappler (though I might occasionally connect an external monitor).

Since I frequently had to tweak settings often with mixed results to get Wappler and Docker running on Big Sur, I’d like to perform a clean installation of both.
How can I set up my existing projects on the new machine without carrying over any old, problematic configurations?
Should I delete hidden files and folders, or perhaps the Composer files, before opening a project?
Is there a tutorial available for this?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Alternatively a Mac Mini M6 24GB 1T SSD with portable monitor

Some suggestions @Marzio

Enable hidden files and folders so you don't miss anything but in general most information is contained within the Project directory itself aside from files in the below location (I'm on Linux so your path to this location may be slightly different):

.config/wappler/Configuration

This directory contains your Wappler configuration files and is worth copying seperately and making a backup of.

You'll also want to do the same for your SSH keys (again this is the location on Linux but should be the same on Mac):

/home/CURRENTUSER/.ssh

Both of the above directories are hidden! So as I say above you'll need to enable hidden files and folders so they are displayed (and remember they'll be hidden on the device you copy/backup to as well if you copy the directories and not just the files located within them).

Thank You
