When I just run homeshick refresh dotfiles, confirm with y and run it again, it says my dotfiles are outdated uh?

michael.heuberger@binarykitchen ~ ❯❯❯ homeshick refresh dotfiles
     outdated dotfiles
     outdated homeshick
      refresh The castles dotfiles,homeshick are outdated.
        pull? [yN] y
         pull dotfiles
         pull homeshick

OK, that is indeed weird. I am unable to reproduce this. In order to diagnose this I need you to test this in a clean environment. Run test/interactive in the homeshick folder to get a shell running in a temporary home folder (run exit to quit). In that folder run:

homeshick clone git@github.com:binarykitchen/dotfiles
homeshick refresh
homeshick refresh

Paste a full copy of the results here or link to them in a gist.

Hmmm, thanks for the suggestions but dont know how to?

Run test/interactive in the homeshick folder to get a shell running in a temporary home folder

what is test/interactive? and which homeshick folder exactly? Tried to find answers myself in your documentation but couldn't find any real examples.

@binarykitchen, apologies for never getting back to you. I must've missed the notification somehow. You start test/interactive by running homeshick cd homeshick to enter the homeshick dir, and then you simply run test/interactive. This drops you into a temporary test environment with a clean shell and $HOME, everything runs in /tmp and is cleaned up once you close the shell.

So when in the test env, clone your dotfiles and try the refresh again.
