index_repository tool

Tool: index_repository

Manually trigger a re-index of the repository. Usually unnecessary because the file watchdog re-indexes changed files automatically on save.

Developer Best Practices

  • Use only after a large external change (e.g. a branch switch) if you want to force a refresh immediately.
  • In normal use the watchdog keeps the index fresh, so you rarely need this.
