How do you migrate a work item type to another repository?

Hi all,
I have created a new work item type and work flow in our testing repository and I want to recreate this in our production repository.
Is there a way to move the Work Item Type with Work Item Editor, Workflow to another repository?
It would save me a lot of time recreating it from scratch.

Other than modifying the process XML, which is not suggested, there are several ways to do this. Use process sharing - see https://jazz.net/library/article/1008 , https://jazz.net/library/article/1005 , or export the process and create a new project area that uses this process. Again process sharing is the best approach to manage process customization, if you want a common process.
