Updating your repo to a new version of Weavy is simple. All you have to do is sync your fork with the latest code from the weavy-sln repo.
Before you can sync your fork, you must have a remote configured that points to the upstream repository in Git.
List the currently configured remotes for your fork with git remote -v.
git remote -v
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)
3. Specify a new remote upstream repository to sync with your fork.
git remote add upstream https://github.com/weavy/weavy-sln.git
4. Verify the new upstream repository you've specified for your fork.
git remote -v
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/weavy/weavy-sln.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/weavy/weavy-sln.git (push)
With the remote configured you can now sync your fork to keep it up-to-date with changes made in the upstream repository.
Fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository with git fetch upstream. Commits to master will be stored in a local branch, upstream/master.

* [new branch] master -> upstream/master
3. Check out your fork's local master branch with git checkout master.
git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
Merge the changes from upstream/master into your local master branch. This brings your fork's master branch into sync with the upstream repository, without losing your local changes.
git merge upstream/master

Syncing your fork only updates your local copy of the repository. To update your fork on GitHub, you must push your changes with git push.
Sometimes, a new version of Weavy will require updates to the database schema. When this is needed you will get an error message saying: Database version x does not match expected version y. Please backup your database and run the dbup command. To resolve this error you can use the wvy.exe command line utility that is located in the bin folder.
wvy.exe dbup
Remember to always take a backup of your database before updating the schema!
