## grepai index

Update the index once and exit

### Synopsis

Scan a project, update its vector, symbol, and optional RPG indexes, then exit.

Unlike grepai watch, this command does not start a file watcher or daemon.
Unchanged files are skipped using the same incremental indexing logic as the
initial scan performed by grepai watch.

Examples:
  grepai index
  grepai index --workspace myworkspace

```
grepai index [flags]
```

### Options

```
  -h, --help               help for index
      --workspace string   Workspace name for multi-project indexing
```
