# `clawdbot update`
|
|
|
|
Safely update a **source checkout** (git install) of Clawdbot.
|
|
|
|
If you installed via **npm/pnpm** (global install, no git metadata), use the package manager flow in [Updating](/install/updating).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
clawdbot update
|
|
clawdbot update --restart
|
|
clawdbot update --json
|
|
clawdbot --update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
- `--restart`: restart the Gateway daemon after a successful update.
|
|
- `--json`: print machine-readable `UpdateRunResult` JSON.
|
|
- `--timeout <seconds>`: per-step timeout (default is 1200s).
|
|
|
|
## What it does (git checkout)
|
|
|
|
High-level:
|
|
|
|
1. Requires a clean worktree (no uncommitted changes).
|
|
2. Fetches and rebases against `@{upstream}`.
|
|
3. Installs deps (pnpm/bun/npm depending on the checkout).
|
|
4. Builds + builds the Control UI.
|
|
5. Runs `clawdbot doctor` as the final “safe update” check.
|
|
|
|
## `--update` shorthand
|
|
|
|
`clawdbot --update` rewrites to `clawdbot update` (useful for shells and launcher scripts).
