Moving to GitPack 1.0.0 from older versions

[dominiksalvet]

Hello GitPack users! 👋

As you may know, GitPack 1.0.0 is very close and it is incompatible with its pre-releases (0.1.0-0.7.0). Once GitPack 1.0.0 is released (see current status below), this discussion will help you with updating from older GitPack versions, while keeping your GitPack packages installed. It is always unpleasant to release a backward-incompatible version of the software but I believe the new approaches, features, and UX of the new GitPack will worth it and kick it into a new dimension. 🚀 All GitPack 1.0.0 changes are listed in the changelog.

CURRENT STATUS: 1.0.0 HAS BEEN RELEASED 🎉 🎉

To update to GitPack 1.0.0, please follow these steps:

1. Uninstall all GitPack packages (except GitPack itself) with your current GitPack.
2. Uninstall your current GitPack (GitPack is able to uninstall itself).
3. Install the new GitPack as mentioned in the readme.md.
4. Install all GitPack packages back.

So, for example:

gitpack uninstall https://github.com/dominiksalvet/pathfinding-robots
sudo gitpack uninstall https://github.com/dominiksalvet/asus-fan-control
sudo gitpack uninstall https://github.com/dominiksalvet/gitpack
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dominiksalvet/gitpack/master/.install/initg.sh | sh
gitpack install https://github.com/dominiksalvet/pathfinding-robots
sudo gitpack install https://github.com/dominiksalvet/asus-fan-control

I hope that this kind of breaking changes will not ever happen again in the GitPack future and the updates will be butter-smooth so no package reinstallations will be required. Should you have any questions or issues, feel free to ask in the discussion. I am here to help. 🚀
