Update a plugin

Rails
1

Hello;
I installed (I guess that’s the right term) a plugin in my project
using
script/plugin install [github url]

I understand the author has made some updates to his plugin.
How does one replace old code with the newest version?
Do I just run the install script again? Does it depend on the author’s
code? The plugin does seem to have an uninstall.rb document, but it
looks to be empty.

Thanks for any pointers.

You might try ‘script/plugin update’ which is designed to do just
that.

Or look into ‘piston’ which is a much more sophisticated plugin
manager. Among other things it allows you to make local changes and
keep those around as you upgrade.

Fantastic. Thanks a million for the tip. Hopefully that will take care
of the short term need, but I will investigate both Piston and Braid.
I’m grateful.

My understanding was that Piston was a bit outdated, and that people are
now using Braid. Am I wrong?

Could be. I’ve never heard of braid, but then I’ve never had any need
for piston either.
