What Build Does

devgraph build is a one-shot sync into local memory:
  1. Collect inputs from files, directories, or globs
  2. Apply default ignores and .devgraphignore
  3. Hash candidate files
  4. Compare against .devgraph/manifest.json
  5. Re-extract only changed files
  6. Merge per-file cache artifacts into .devgraph/graph.json
  7. Write the updated manifest and graph back to disk

​
Ignore Rules

DevGraph excludes common noise by default, including:
  • .git/
  • .devgraph/
  • node_modules/
  • dist/
  • build/
  • .next/
  • examples/
  • internal-docs/
  • apps/docs/
  • static exports and public assets
  • lockfiles and generated metadata
You can add a repo-local .devgraphignore file with .gitignore syntax to exclude more paths.

​
Incremental Cache

Build stores per-file extraction state in .devgraph/cache/. manifest.json records file hashes and extraction version so unchanged files can be reused.

​
Examples

Build the current repo:
Build selected paths:
Force a rebuild to overwrite a large shrink:

Output

Build writes the following files to .devgraph/:
