If your website was created using chirpy-starter, you can follow these steps to update your repository.
If this is your first time updating chirpy-starter via Git, start by adding the remote repository:
git remote add chirpy [email protected]:cotes2020/chirpy-starter.gitTo verify that the remote was added successfully, run:
git remote -vYou should see the following output:
chirpy [email protected]:cotes2020/chirpy-starter.git (fetch)
chirpy [email protected]:cotes2020/chirpy-starter.git (push)
...
-
Fetch upstream
chirpy:git fetch chirpy --tags -
Merge the latest tag from upstream into your local branch. For example, to merge tag
v7.1.1from upstream, run the command:git merge --squash v7.1.1 -
Update Git submodule
assets/lib:git -C assets/lib pull -
Resolve any remaining file conflicts manually. If you want to keep certain custom modifications, you can do that at this point as well. Once the conflicts are resolved, create a new commit to save the upgrade.
git add . && git commit -m "chore: upgrade to X.Y.Z" -
Finally, update the local theme gems:
bundle update
If you forked from the source project (there will be gemspec in the Gemfile of your site), merge the latest upstream tags into your Jekyll site to complete the upgrade.
The merge is likely to conflict with your local modifications. Please be patient and careful when resolving these conflicts.
JS distribution files have been removed since v5.6.0, and Bootstrap CSS has been lean since v7.0.0. Therefore, for all future upgrades, you should compile the CSS/JS files yourself.
npm run buildThen make sure to add them to your repository files:
git add assets/js/dist _sass/dist -fWhen upgrading to a Major version, it's important to read the release notes for that version to understand any changes in project configuration.
