How to update / pull the latest version of everything

[yratof]

is there a nice command you're running to update everything? I'm seeing that there are submodules that are getting update & pulling AW doesn't account for this

Could you try git submodule update --recursive? I think that should do it.

You might also need to run make uninstall and then make build again.

Let me know which steps were needed!

• Add to docs how you update from source

git submodule update --recursive might not be enough if we have specified commit IDs in our submodules (which it seems like we do have? Atleast i can see it in aw-watcher-web). This is the complete and full answer to the question

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1030169/easy-way-to-pull-latest-of-all-git-submodules

We also have the scripts/pull-all.sh script, if you use it with the -a flag you will push all the latest submodules on master. The stackoverflow article should do the exact same thing more consicely though, so that's probably the best way to go.

[ErikBjare]

So, if you want the latest version of all submodules committed in the main repo, use: git submodule update --recursive

If you want the latest master branch on all submodules, use: git submodule update --recursive --remote

@johan-bjareholt Did you mean push-all.sh or pull-all.sh? Also, does this mean that we can remove the pull-all.sh script? (after we've written about git submodule update --recursive --remote in the docs)

• Add info about git submodule update --recursive --remote to dev docs

[johan-bjareholt]

That's correct :)

I've personally never used the push-all script and see little use of it, so I wouldn't mind if we removed that aswell.

[ErikBjare]

The push-all script is mostly useful when you want to ensure that you've pushed all the latest changes in the submodules before pushing the main repo (if not, CI will fail to clone the submodules). But git submodule foreach git push is equivalent as far as I can see. So yeah, I'll remove it.

• Remove push-all.sh and pull-all.sh

Alright, fixed in 72e3b9c.

Please let us know if the instructions worked @yratof, they work for me 😃
