odyn update

Fetches the latest commit from a dependency's source and re-pins it in Odyn.lock.

Usage​

odyn update <name>

<name> is the dependency's name as it appears in Odyn.lock.

What it does​

update runs a git fetch followed by a hard reset to FETCH_HEAD inside odyn_deps/<name>, then records the new HEAD commit in Odyn.lock. Only the named dependency is affected.

If the dependency was originally cloned with --depth (shallow clone), update automatically runs git fetch --unshallow first to retrieve the full history before fetching the latest commits.

Examples​

odyn update math

After running this, Odyn.lock will reflect the new commit hash, and odyn_deps/math will be at that commit.

Notes​

  • update errors if <name> is not found in Odyn.lock.
  • There's no "update all" flag. Run update once per dependency you want to advance.
  • To move to a specific commit rather than the latest HEAD, use odyn get with --commit after removing the dependency, or edit Odyn.lock directly and run odyn sync --force.
tip

Commit the updated Odyn.lock after running odyn update so collaborators get the same version on their next odyn sync.
