Refreshing github and local libraries

Software
1

Hi,

I’m using Kicad 4.0 RC1 with only official libraries from github and I’m having two (related) questions I can’t find answers to:

  1. How can I force Kicad to refresh (pull) all the changes made in libaries on github. In other words - what should I do to see latest changes made in mainstream libraries in my local kicad.
  2. How can I force Kicad to refresh some local library after adding new component to it externally (in my example I’m adding some new graphics to my library by just creating new .kicad_mod file inside of my graphics.pretty folder). The only way I know about right now is to close all Kicad modules windows and restart it but there should be some easier way.

Regarding question 1, could you try the following commands in the library directory?

git stash # Get rid of local changes
git pull

I can’t really do that as all the directories downloaded by kicad are not git repositories (they are created by footprint library wizard).
