v0.9.4 to latest version

[SimonQ]

I'm currently on v0.9.4 and want to update to the latest version (v1.0.4-auto.2 as of this writing)

I'm looking at the docs and it says to use

$ git fetch    # Grab the latest code from the NodeBB Repository
$ git checkout v0.4.x    # Type this as-is! Not v0.4.2 or v0.4.3, but "v0.4.x"!
$ git merge origin/v0.4.x

To go to v1.0.4 would I just replace 0.4.x with v1.0.x? Do I need to prefix any auto-.x as well? I've had bad experiences updating in the past and don't want to mess up the forum right now!

The branch would be weekly to get to v1.0.4-auto.2.
So just replace v0.4.x with weekly instead and you should be fine.

However the more-or-less stable branch recommended for production is v1.x.x. You might want to use that instead.

No need to suffix the auto meta.
You can view a full list of branches on GitHub. Each of those can be used with the commands you listed.

@frissdiegurke I used this script here

GitHub - ahwayakchih/openshift-nodebb: **CLOSED** HOWTO install NodeBB in the OpenShift cloud.

**CLOSED** HOWTO install NodeBB in the OpenShift cloud. - GitHub - ahwayakchih/openshift-nodebb: **CLOSED** HOWTO install NodeBB in the OpenShift cloud.

GitHub (github.com)

to host my forum on openshift. It eases the deployment on openshift. Automatically detect some environment variables and set it into nodebb. That Script only works for 0.9.^ versions. It does not work for v1.0.0 . So i have my forum running fine now. using v0.9.4. I would like to know if i can use the git commands to update my forum and does it work if i do so?

@Nisthar I don't see anything within that script that would not be compatible with 1.x.x; Should work, not tested thought.

@frissdiegurke No, the project owner mentioned and already tested it, i think

Please let me know if you tested it.
