The openground update command efficiently updates an existing library by comparing content hashes and only updating changed pages.

​
Usage

openground update <library> [OPTIONS]

​
Arguments

​
library
string
required
Name of the library to update

​
Options

​
--version
string
default:"latest"
Version to update.Aliases: -v
​
--source
string
default:"None"
Override source URL. If not provided, uses the source from ~/.openground/sources.json.Aliases: -s
​
--yes
boolean
default:"false"
Skip prompts.Aliases: -y

​
Behavior

The update command is an alias for the add command when a library already exists. It performs an incremental update by:
  1. Extracting all pages from the source
  2. Comparing content hashes with existing pages in the database
  3. Categorizing pages as:
    • Added: New pages not in the database
    • Modified: Pages with different content hashes
    • Deleted: Pages in the database but not in the source
    • Unchanged: Pages with identical content
  4. Updating only the changed pages

​
Efficient Updates

Only pages that have been added, modified, or deleted are re-embedded and updated in the database. Unchanged pages are skipped, making updates fast and efficient.

​
Examples

​
Update from sources.json

openground update langchain

​
Update Specific Version

openground update mylib --version v2.0.0

​
Update with Override Source

openground update mylib --source https://github.com/user/repo

​
Update Without Confirmation

openground update mylib -y

​
Output Example

Using sources file: /home/user/.openground/sources.json
Library 'langchain' version 'latest' already exists.
Performing extraction and incremental update...

✓ Extraction complete: 523 pages extracted to /home/user/.openground/raw_data/langchain/latest

Update Summary:
  Added: 12 pages
  Modified: 8 pages
  Deleted: 3 pages
  Unchanged: 500 pages

✓ Update complete: langchain (latest) updated.

​
When to Use Update vs Add

  • Use update: When you want to explicitly update an existing library with the latest changes
  • Use add: When adding a new library for the first time, or when you want to add a new version
Both commands behave identically when the library already exists in the database.
