[Qgis-user] Saving project to geopackage

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

There have been discussions in the past about methods or plugins that will
"package" your project for distribution, but generally with mixed results.
As others have stated, you can create a new geopackage and add the
connection in the QGIS browser which will allow you to store the project
file inside the gpkg, so that you can distribute your entire project as a
single flat file.

The QGIS project will store items like project groups and layer styles, but
in terms of migrating your underlying data sources I think it best if you
migrate that manually. In the QGIS project, you can right click and select
export to save it in the gpkg, or you can drag and drop multiple layers
from their original source location onto the target gpkg in the QGIS
browser panel as well.
