This is a git protection mechanism — your local changes would get overwritten, so Clawdbot skips the update to be safe.

Options to fix:

  1. Commit your changes (recommended if you want to keep them):

    cd /Users/rtang/Downloads/clawdbot
    git add .
    git commit -m "WIP: my local changes"
    # Then retry the update
    
  2. Stash changes (temporarily save them):

    git stash
    # Retry update, then: git stash pop to restore later
    
#
  1. Discard all changes (only if you don't care about your local mods):
    git reset --hard
    # Then retry update
    

After that, clawdbot update should work again! 🦐

Run the security audit with:

clawdbot security audit

This will scan your configuration and flag any potential security issues (exposed tokens, overly permissive settings, etc.). 🦐

On macOS, you have a few options:

Option 1: pm2 (easiest)

npm install -g pm2
pm2 start "clawdbot" --name clawdbot
pm2 startup  # follow instructions to install the startup script
pm2 save     # save current process list

Option 2: launchd (native macOS)

# Create a plist file at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.clawdbot.plist
# Then load it:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.clawdbot.plist
