How to update the skeleton with changes from this repo... #330

Closed Guyverix closed 1 year ago

Guyverix commented 1 year ago

Sorry to have to create an issue request due to my ignorance, but I need an assist. Originally I followed the installation docs to get the skeleton in place, and everything is working as designed. However since that time, there have been new releases here, and I am unable to figure out how to get the updated skeleton into my system.

My main concern is that I do not want to clobber my existing code changes with the updates.

Would the best solution be start from scratch with a new skeleton install and copy my code over?

@Guyverix I found your post at random but I hope my answer will be helpful to you. The intent of this project (and composer create-project) is to bootstrap/setup a new project that you're starting from scratch. so there isn't a standard way of doing what you want to do.

Is there any particular reason/addition that you're trying to add to your own project that has been recently added to the slim skeleton?

I had seen updates and changes to the skeleton that looked like they may be useful in my project, and wanted to get any bug fixes that were in place. I just was not really sure how to get the delta between the really old skeleton that I have been using for the last couple of years and the updates that happened.

There was nothing specific overall that I needed in the latest release, but since I am still quite new at writing PHP code, I wanted to keep the skeleton as updated as possible so I could learn more. I am trying really hard to not develop bad habits with my code, and I felt that if I followed the skeleton closely that I would have fewer problems.

The only way to achieve this with an existing project would be to diff the two and manually incorporate the changes that you like unfortunately. I'm closing this as resolved.
