question: updating to latest

[HankBrown]

Experienced programmer but brand new to wordpress. This project (plus the mustardseed sass partials) makes sense to me. Sass is the way I handle css in other projects. Yet wordpress/genesis has this entirely different user-centric never-see-the-code approach. In my case I have just one site, I'm not creating and developing and bunch of themes. I'm struggling to decide which approach to adopt. Certainly I would/could make the wordpress portion of my site more visually compatible with my main site if I can share some sass.

But this repo and mustardseed are a few versions behind the parent theme (now at 2.9.1)

What's the procedure for updating (or is there one)? We have to take the current parent + sample theme, find the changes, and port them into partials ? So that work is ongoing: keeping up with genesis? Sorry to ask such a newb question. Appreciate any guidance very much. Thank you.

Hey @HankBrown,

Thank you for your question.

Most of the recent changes to the Genesis Sample theme are centered around Gutenberg and the new Onboarding feature that Genesis introduced in version 2.8 ( I think ).

I will have to take a closer look at those changes and decide whether or not they are worth porting over.

That being said, a new major release for Genesis is planned within the next few months and I rather wait for that to adjust my starter theme.
