datalad update - update a dataset from a sibling.
SYNOPSIS
datalad update [-h] [-s SIBLING] [--merge] [-d DATASET] [-r] [-R LEVELS] [--fetch-all] [--reobtain-data] [PATH [PATH ...]]
OPTIONS
PATH contrain to-be-updated subdatasets to the given path for recursive operation. Constraints: value must be a string -h, -\-help, -\-help-np show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message -s SIBLING, -\-sibling SIBLING name of the sibling to update from. If no sibling is given, updates from all siblings are obtained. Constraints: value must be a string -\-merge merge obtained changes from the given or the default sibling. -d DATASET, -\-dataset DATASET specify the dataset to update. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to identify the dataset based on the current working directory. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) -r, -\-recursive if set, recurse into potential subdataset. -R LEVELS, -\-recursion-limit LEVELS limit recursion into subdataset to the given number of levels. Constraints: value must be convertible to type 'int' -\-fetch-all this option has no effect and will be removed in a future version. When no siblings are given, an all-sibling update will be performed. -\-reobtain-data if enabled, file content that was present before an update will be re-obtained in case a file was changed by the update.
