CLI Guide

Core Repo Flow

omnigraph init --schema ./schema.pg ./repo.omni
omnigraph load --data ./data.jsonl --mode overwrite ./repo.omni
omnigraph snapshot ./repo.omni --branch main --json
omnigraph read --uri ./repo.omni --query ./queries.gq --name get_person --params '{"name":"Alice"}'
omnigraph change --uri ./repo.omni --query ./queries.gq --name insert_person --params '{"name":"Mina","age":28}'

Branching And Reviewable Data Flows

omnigraph branch create --uri ./repo.omni --from main feature-x
omnigraph branch list --uri ./repo.omni
omnigraph branch merge --uri ./repo.omni feature-x --into main

omnigraph ingest --data ./batch.jsonl --branch review/import-2026-04-09 ./repo.omni
omnigraph export ./repo.omni --branch main --type Person > people.jsonl
omnigraph commit list ./repo.omni --branch main --json
omnigraph commit show --uri ./repo.omni <commit-id> --json

Remote Server Mode

Serve a repo:

omnigraph-server ./repo.omni --bind 127.0.0.1:8080

Read through the HTTP API:

omnigraph read \
  --target http://127.0.0.1:8080 \
  --query ./queries.gq \
  --name get_person \
  --params '{"name":"Alice"}'

If the server requires auth, set OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKEN on the server and configure the matching bearer_token_env in omnigraph.yaml.

Runs, Policy, And Diagnostics

omnigraph query lint --query ./queries.gq --schema ./schema.pg --json
omnigraph query check --query ./queries.gq ./repo.omni --json

omnigraph schema plan --schema ./next.pg ./repo.omni --json
omnigraph schema apply --schema ./next.pg ./repo.omni --json
omnigraph policy validate --config ./omnigraph.yaml
omnigraph policy test --config ./omnigraph.yaml
omnigraph policy explain --config ./omnigraph.yaml --actor act-alice --action read --branch main

omnigraph run list ./repo.omni --json
omnigraph run show --uri ./repo.omni <run-id> --json
omnigraph run publish --uri ./repo.omni <run-id> --json
omnigraph run abort --uri ./repo.omni <run-id> --json

query lint and query check are the same command surface. In v1, repo-backed lint uses local or s3:// repo URIs; HTTP targets are only supported when you also pass --schema.

Config

omnigraph.yaml lets the CLI and server share named graphs, defaults, and query roots:

graphs:
  local:
    uri: ./demo.omni
  dev:
    uri: http://127.0.0.1:8080
    bearer_token_env: OMNIGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN

cli:
  graph: local
  branch: main

query:
  roots:
    - queries
    - .

The config file can also define:

server bind defaults
auth env files
query aliases for common read and change commands
policy.file for Cedar authorization rules

When policy is enabled, schema apply is authorized through the schema_apply action and is typically limited to admins on protected main.
