Upgrade
This chapter shows how to upgrade Hydejack to a newer version. The method depends on how you’ve installed Hydejack.
Table of Contents
NOTE: Before upgrading to v7+, make sure you’ve read the CHANGELOG, especially the part about the license change!
Via Starter Kit
When using the Starter Kit, upgrading Hydejack is as simple as setting the remote_theme key in config.yml to the desired version.
remote_theme: qwtel/hydejack@v8.4.0
To use the latest version on the v8 branch on each build, you can use qwtel/hydejack@v8.
Via gem
Upgrading the gem-based theme is as easy as running
bundle update jekyll-theme-hydejack
Via zip
Upgrading via zip is a bit of a dark art, specially if you’ve made changes to any source files, and the prime reason why I suggest using the gem-based version of the theme.
Generally, you’ll want to copy these files and folders:
_includes/_layouts/_sass/assets/GemfileGemfile.lock
and merge them with your existing folder. However, you’ll also want to check out _data and _config.yml for any changes and read latest entries to the CHANGELOG.
NOTE: If you’ve modified any of Hydejack’s internal files, your changes will most likely be overwritten and you have to apply them again. Make sure you’ve made a backup before overwriting any files.
Via git
The latest version sits on the master branch of qwtel/hydejack. To apply them to your repository run
$ git remote add hydejack git@github.com:qwtel/hydejack.git
$ git pull hydejack master
PRO Version
Buyers of the PRO version will find the files necessary for an upgrade in the upgrade folder of the downloaded zip archive.
NOTE: If you’ve modified any of Hydejack’s internal files, your changes will most likely be overwritten and you have to apply them again. Make sure you’ve made a backup before overwriting any files.
PRO via GitHub (advanced)
If you’ve followed the steps here, all you need to upgrade is:
$ bundle update jekyll-theme-hydejack-pro
Continue with Config
