Updating atscm

You can use atscm to update atscm 😀

Installing new versions

Simply run atscm update to install the latest version available. Add the --beta flag to install prerelease versions. Ensure to backup your project before doing so.

Internally, we use npm to install updates, which means that you can also run npm install --save-dev atscm instead.

Updating your atscm project

We'll do our best to follow semantic versioning, which means you shouldn't need to update your project sources between non-major releases, e.g. when updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 or 1.1.0.

Between major releases (e.g. from 0.7.0 to 1.0.0) we introduce changes that may break your existing project. Follow these steps to migrate your project to a new major version of atscm:

• Backup your project before, e.g. with git: git add . && git commit -m "chore: Backup before atscm update"
• Start a fresh atvise server instance and push your current project: atscm push
• Update atscm: atscm update
• Pull your project sources from atvise server: atscm pull --clean
• Afterwards, you can commit commit the changes: git add . && git commit -m "chore: Update atscm"
