Hi guys,

I have installed a git-hosted plugin with script/plugin. This plugin’s  
repository has been updated, and I want my local version to have these  
updates.

‘script/plugin update plugin\_name’ did not fetch any updates.

Can anyone please advise?

Thank  
Zac

Thanks for the reply Craig.

From reading the command name ‘script/plugin update’, it sounded like it  
would update plugins! ah well.
