Solution

  • These are no strict rules to follow to update, But you can follow the below steps.

    1. Download the latest template the same way you did in step 1 before.

    2. Checkout the Framework-Master branch. The only thing here is just the raw framework files that I downloaded in step 1 of the previous steps.

    3. Delete all the files from the previous framework check-in. You don't know if a file is removed or added to the new download so deleting and copying a fresh set over solves that.
    4. Copy over the newly downloaded files.
    5. Commit the changes. Now, the only thing in Framework-Master is the new download.
    6. Checkout master.
    7. Here you can optionally create a merge branch if you like or you can use master. I generally create a new branch. so I would git checkout -b "NewFrameworkVersion1_13" or something like that. This may only work in GIT. Say in TFS, I think you can only merge into a branch that you are branched from.
    8. Merge Framework-Master into either Master or the new branch you created. NEVER MERGE TO FRAMEWORK-MASTER. That branch is just for the downloaded code ONLY.
