Updating Tatanka

I love Git, I hope you do to.

🚧

Git Required

Tatanka is designed to be installed as a git submodule or as an stand-alone git repository. Using git updating is a breeze.

Updating: Submodule Method

So if your app is version controlled with git then you probably set up Tatanka as a sublodule. So within your app's root simply run:

Shell

$ git submodule update --remote

This will update the tatanka directory. If you cd into your tatanka directory and run git status you will notice that tatanka is in a detached head state. This is expected. You never make modifications inside the tatanka directory. As it could conflict with updates and break your application.

Updating: Stand-alone Repository Method

If your app is not version controlled with git then you may have set up Tatanka as a stand-alone git repo. In this case you must cd into your tatanka directory and pull from the master tatanka branch.

Shell

$ cd tatanka/
$ git pull origin master

As of now the only way to update Tatanka automatically is to use git with one of the methods described above. We will be adding the ability to update Tatanka without using Git through the Arrow client.
