Update Plugins documentation to include procedure to update a plugin #88

Closed bmfmancini closed 3 years ago

netniV commented 3 years ago

Good idea for an update, needs one or two changes though.

Hey Larry

Good point on the git pull

instead of mv plugin /tmp if you cp -R the folder to temp git pull will work

Also we should note that if you git pull the repo you will get the absolute latest so if you have been testing a release version it may be best to wget the release tar

@netniV all updated let me know if this works better

netniV commented 3 years ago

I will have to test the git commands. There is a way to fetch to the cache (stored in the .git folder), then checkout to a tag. There is no need to rename folders or anything else when you do that as long you haven't modified anything.

I also added some updates to the FAQ document

Going to merge this. We can fix in subsequent pulls.
