batho patch

Detect changes natively and apply incremental updates to an existing Batho artifact database.

Description​

Unlike legacy versions of Batho, batho patch detects changes natively using content hashing (SHA-256) of files against the Arrow file_tracking table, eliminating false positives from uncommitted files. It only parses modified or added files and removes references to deleted files, keeping the hypergraph up to date with minimal processing time.

Usage​

batho patch [options]

Options​

  • --root PATH Repository root directory (default: current directory . ).
  • --verbose Enable verbose debug logging.
  • --max-file-size-kb N Skip files exceeding this size limit in kilobytes during the hash scan.

Output Summary​

If changes are detected, the command outputs a detailed summary of modified entities:

Patched /path/to/repo: 3 changes (2 added, 1 modified, 0 deleted) in 85ms
  Nodes: 4 added, 0 removed, 2 modified, 0 renamed

If no changes are detected since the last index/patch, it outputs:

No changes detected.
