What does 'pihole-update lists' do that cronjob update gravity doesn't?

[ErikDB]

My apologies if this isn't the right category for this topic...

I'm installing Pi-hole as a first-time user, and I'm wondering what 'pihole-update lists' (GitHub - jacklul/pihole-updatelists: Update Pi-hole's lists from remote sources easily) does that cronjob update gravity (in /etc/cron.d/pihole) doesn't?

If I understand correctly, you need to add the URL's of the lists to /etc/pihole-updatelists.conf, but I already entered them using pihole -w. Seems like double the work, for (as I understand it now) no added value...

Thanks for everyone's enlightenment!

This is not an official Pi-hole application.

You should ask questions about this script at this address: GitHub · Where software is built

Note:

I don't know this script/tool, but apparently this is a script to handle lists of lists (lists containing a list of URLs to the actual lists)...
Pi-hole doesn't have this function and most users won't need it.

If you doesn't use this kind of thing, you don't need this script.

I realized it was not an official application, but maybe users here use it.

But it looks like I can do without it.

Thanks for your time!

I think I figured it out.

There are lists of URL's to be blocked, and those lists are maintained by heroes who commit their time, so we don't have to. And then there are people who commit their time in making lists of those list, so we can go ahead with only one URL (via the script), e.g. https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick instead of all the lists listed here: https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick).
