how to update monticello cypress repository downloaded from github?

Hi,

how can one update a cypress github repository?

e.g. I install it like this

Metacello new

baseline: 'FileDialog';

repository: 'github://peteruhnak/file-dialog/repository';

load.

And then later I want to pull latest changes

as the repo itself doesn't contain commits I cannot do it from Monticello Browser.

The only way I found was to

1. delete github-cache folder in the image folder

2. unload all the loaded packages

3. execute this script again

This is really heavy-handed approach.

Maybe the class BaselineOf could contain method #update or something like that that will automatically do this?

Or is there a better way?

Thanks,

Peter

AFAIK that is the only way

1. delete github-cache folder in the image folder
2. unload all the loaded packages
3. execute this script again

At least if you have a metadata less github repository, is that the case?

But that was the conclusion to which we arrived with Dale a few weeks ago and he's changing stuff, so maybe in the latest version it is already solved.
