Hey all,

It’s been a while since I’ve worked with Radiant and Git, and I now need  
to  
update a couple of apps to, at least, 0.8.2.

So I was wondering if somebody could help me out by listing the command  
used  
to update an extension that was added as a git submodule?

Also, how can I specify which branch/tag to use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nate

off the top of my head (but hopefully close)

cd vendor/extension/ext  
git fetch  
git checkout -b new\_branch repo\_branch\_name  
cd ../..  
rake radiant:extensions:ext:update  
rake radiant:extensions:ext:migrate  
git add vendor/extension/ext [other files]  
git commit -m ‘update ext’
