Update the documentation template¶

After you've applied the template, you can update it to a new version by:

• Update the project generated using Copier
• Update the cloned template

Update the project generated using Copier¶

When you used Copier to generate the project, you can also use Copier to update it.

Update the cloned template¶

When you cloned the template repository, it can be updated through Git.

Template Remote¶

First ensure the template repository is added as a remote for the documentation repository:

git remote -v

origin      git@github.com:MyUsername/my-docs-repo.git (fetch)
origin      git@github.com:MyUsername/my-docs-repo.git (push)
template    git@github.com:Virtlink/zensical-docs-template.git (fetch)
template    git@github.com:Virtlink/zensical-docs-template.git (push)

If not, add the template remote repository:

git remote add template git@github.com:Virtlink/zensical-docs-template.git

Merge latest changes¶

Fetch the changes in the template remote:

git fetch template

Then merge the latest changes from the template's main branch into your repository:

git merge template/main

git merge template/main --allow-unrelated-histories

Finally, use the Git command line to fix any merge conflicts, and commit the result.
