Sync OpenClaw workspace between multiple machines (local Mac and remote VPS) via Git. Enables seamless migration of OpenClaw personality, memory, and skills. Use when user wants to (1) push workspace changes to remote before shutdown, (2) pull latest workspace on a new machine, (3) check sync status between machines, (4) migrate OpenClaw to another machine.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Sync your OpenClaw workspace across machines via Git. This allows you to: Work on local Mac as primary, seamlessly switch to VPS when traveling Maintain continuous memory and personality across different machines Backup your OpenClaw state to remote Git repository
Recommended branch model for multi-device: main = shared baseline remote = this server local = your laptop/desktop # Check status (current branch) claw-roam status # One-command full sync (recommended) claw-roam sync # Or step by step: # Commit+push current branch claw-roam push "msg" # Pull latest for current branch claw-roam pull # (Optional) merge another device branch into current branch claw-roam merge-from local claw-roam merge-from remote
Commit and push workspace to remote Git repository. claw-roam push [message] If no message provided, uses timestamp as default Automatically adds all changes (git add -A) Skips push if no changes detected
Pull latest workspace from remote and sync. claw-roam pull Fetches latest changes from remote Applies changes to current workspace Stops and restarts OpenClaw gateway to apply changes (VPS mode)
Check sync status between local and remote. claw-roam status Shows current branch and commit Shows unpushed commits (if any) Shows uncommitted changes Suggests next action
claw-roam sync Performs the complete sync workflow in one command: Commit and push current branch - Saves your local changes Merge main into current branch - Gets latest from shared main Push to main branch - Shares your changes with other machines Workflow diagram: โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ commit+push โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ local โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโถโ origin/localโ โ ๅๆฏ โ โ โ โโโโโโโโฌโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ โ merge main โผ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ merge+push โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ local โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโถโ main โ โ ๅๆฏ โ โ (shared) โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโฌโโโโโโโ โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ pull โผ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ remote โ โ ๅๆฏ โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Recommended daily workflow: # On each machine, just run: claw-roam sync This ensures: Your changes are saved to your branch You get latest changes from other machines (via main) Other machines can get your changes (via main)
Initialize Git repo in workspace (if not already done): cd ~/.openclaw/workspace git init git remote add origin <your-repo-url> Create initial commit: git add -A git commit -m "initial" git push -u origin main On VPS machine - clone the repo: cd ~ git clone <your-repo-url> openclaw-workspace ln -s openclaw-workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace
For multiple machines, use this branch strategy: local (Mac) โโโ โโโโบ main (shared) โโโ merge & push remote (VPS) โโ
Local Mac: cd ~/.openclaw/workspace git checkout -b local git push -u origin local Remote VPS: cd ~/.openclaw/workspace git checkout -b remote git push -u origin remote
On each machine: Get latest from main (่ทๅๅ ถไปๆบๅจ็ๆๆฐๅ ๅฎน): claw-roam merge-from main Work normally, then push your changes: claw-roam push "update memory" Share to main (่ฎฉๅ ถไปๆบๅจ่ฝ่ทๅ): git checkout main git merge local -m "merge: local -> main" git push origin main git checkout local
# Pull from main, then push to main claw-roam merge-from main && git checkout main && git merge local && git push && git checkout local
If merge-from main has conflicts: # Keep your version git checkout --ours <conflicted-file> git add -A && git commit -m "merge: resolved conflicts" # Or keep main's version git checkout --theirs <conflicted-file> git add -A && git commit -m "merge: resolved conflicts"
For simpler setups without branches:
Just use OpenClaw normally. Before shutdown: claw-roam push "end of day sync" Or let it auto-push via cron: # Add to crontab */10 * * * * cd ~/.openclaw/workspace && git add -A && git commit -m "auto: $(date)" && git push
Ensure local has pushed: claw-roam push On VPS: claw-roam pull Update Telegram webhook to point to VPS (if using webhook mode) Continue using alternative bot token on VPS
On VPS: claw-roam push On local: claw-roam pull Update Telegram webhook back to local (if needed)
Synced (preserved across machines): SOUL.md - Your agent's personality MEMORY.md - Long-term memory memory/*.md - Daily conversation logs skills/ - All installed skills AGENTS.md, USER.md - Context files TOOLS.md - Device configurations HEARTBEAT.md - Periodic tasks Not Synced (machine-specific): Session database (SQLite) - But this is rebuilt from memory files Gateway runtime state Platform-specific paths in configs
Run setup steps above to initialize Git repository.
If you edited on both machines without syncing: # On the machine with changes you want to keep git pull --strategy=ours git push
Ensure your Git remote is configured with proper authentication (SSH key or token).
Use bundled scripts directly: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/claw-roam/scripts/claw-roam.sh push ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/claw-roam/scripts/claw-roam.sh pull ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/claw-roam/scripts/claw-roam.sh status
