Safe Update
Update OpenClaw from source to the latest version while preserving local changes.
โ ๏ธ Important Warnings
This script performs git rebase and git push --force - may lose local changes if not properly committed Uses npm i -g . for global installation - may require sudo Uses systemctl --user restart - will restart the OpenClaw service Backup your config before running! (see below)
Requirements
Required binaries (must be installed): git npm / node systemctl (for restarting gateway)
Environment Variables (optional)
# Set custom project path export OPENCLAW_PROJECT_DIR="/path/to/openclaw" # Set custom branch (default: main) export OPENCLAW_BRANCH="your-feature-branch" # Enable dry-run mode (no actual changes) export DRY_RUN="true"
Or Pass as Arguments
./update.sh --dir /path/to/openclaw --branch your-branch
Step 1: Analyze Current State (Must Run First)
Before executing any update, check: Whether the current branch has uncommitted changes Whether the current branch has local modifications Whether upstream has new commits Recommend the most appropriate update strategy based on the situation Recommended Strategy: ScenarioRecommended MethodRationaleUncommitted local changesCommit/stash first, then mergeSafe, no lost changesOnly clean local commitsmerge or rebasemerge is safer, rebase keeps history cleanPreparing a PRrebase recommendedKeeps history tidyRoutine dev updatemerge recommendedSimple, less error-prone
Step 2: Ask User for Confirmation
After presenting the recommended options, you must wait for user confirmation before executing.
Step 3: Execute Update
# 1. Enter project directory cd "${OPENCLAW_PROJECT_DIR:-$HOME/projects/openclaw}" # 2. Backup config files (good practice before update!) echo "=== Backing up config files ===" mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/backups BACKUP_SUFFIX=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) # Backup main config cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ~/.openclaw/backups/openclaw.json.bak.$BACKUP_SUFFIX echo "โ Backed up: openclaw.json" # Backup auth profiles (if exists) if [ -f ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json ]; then cp ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json \ ~/.openclaw/backups/auth-profiles.json.bak.$BACKUP_SUFFIX echo "โ Backed up: auth-profiles.json" fi echo "๐ก Backups saved to: ~/.openclaw/backups/" echo "" # 3. Add upstream repository (if not added) git remote add upstream https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git 2>/dev/null || true # 4. Fetch upstream changes git fetch upstream # 5. Update target branch (use merge or rebase based on user's choice) git checkout $BRANCH # merge: git merge upstream/$BRANCH # rebase: git rebase upstream/$BRANCH # 6. View changelog echo "=== Full Changelog ===" CURRENT_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "v$(node -e 'console.log(require("./package.json").version)')") echo "Current version: $CURRENT_TAG" echo "" # 7. Build and install npm run build npm i -g . # 8. Reinstall systemd service (to update version number) echo "=== Reinstalling Gateway service ===" openclaw daemon install --force # 9. Check version NEW_VERSION=$(openclaw --version) echo "โ Update complete! New version: $NEW_VERSION" echo "" # 10. Ask user whether to restart echo "=== Gateway needs restart to apply updates ===" echo "Confirm restart? (y/N)"
Quick Script
Run scripts/update.sh to automatically complete all steps above.
Command Line Options
./update.sh [OPTIONS] Options: --dir PATH OpenClaw project directory (default: $HOME/projects/openclaw) --branch NAME Git branch to update (default: main) --mode MODE Update mode: merge or rebase (if not specified, will analyze and recommend) --dry-run Show what would be done without executing --help Show this help message
Examples
# Update with defaults (will analyze and recommend) ./update.sh # Update specific branch ./update.sh --branch feat/my-branch # Force merge mode ./update.sh --mode merge # Force rebase mode ./update.sh --mode rebase # Dry run (preview only) ./update.sh --dry-run # Custom project path ./update.sh --dir /opt/openclaw --branch main
Notes
Rebase may cause conflicts - if conflicts occur, resolve manually and continue Force push - after rebase, if pushing to fork, use git push --force Service reinstall - will update version in systemd unit file User confirms restart - Gateway will not restart until you confirm Backup first - always backup before updating!
Git Conflicts During Rebase
# Resolve conflicts manually, then: git add . git rebase --continue # Continue with build steps
Build Fails
# Clean and retry: rm -rf node_modules dist npm install npm run build
Gateway Won't Start
# Check status: systemctl --user status openclaw-gateway # View logs: journalctl --user -u openclaw-gateway -n 50
