SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Upgrade gstack across diverse deployment modes is error-prone and risky without guidance; this Skill automates the upgrade flow to ensure a safe, repeatable update.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects install type (global-git, local-git, vendored, or vendored-global) and runs the appropriate upgrade path.
  • Upgrades to the latest release, shows what’s new, and synchronizes any local vendored copies.
  • Handles edge cases like local changes and auto-upgrade preferences, with clear user prompts and fallbacks.

Quick Start

Run /gstack-upgrade to trigger the upgrade flow and verify the new version.

Frequently Asked Questions about gstack-upgrade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade gstack to the latest version safely?▼

The gstack upgrade process detects whether your install is global-git, local-git, or vendored. It then applies the appropriate CLI-based update flow, syncs local vendored copies, updates caches, and displays a summarized changelog of what's new in the release.

Does the gstack upgrade flow work for vendored and global deployments?▼

Yes, the upgrade flow supports global-git, local-git, vendored, and vendored-global deployments. It detects your installation type and runs the matching CLI-based update path, including syncing local vendored copies to ensure consistency across diverse deployment modes.

What is the best way to handle local changes before updating gstack?▼

The automated upgrade flow handles edge cases like local changes by providing clear user prompts and fallbacks. This ensures the gstack update does not overwrite unsaved work without confirmation, maintaining a safe and repeatable upgrade process.

Why does upgrading gstack require an install type detection step?▼

Install type detection is required because diverse deployment modes need different update paths. Identifying whether the gstack install is global-git, local-git, or vendored ensures the upgrade flow applies the correct CLI commands and safely syncs the appropriate caches.

What are the limitations of automating CLI upgrades for gstack?▼

A key limitation of automating CLI upgrades is resolving local changes in git-based or vendored deployments. The automated gstack flow mitigates this by using clear user prompts and fallbacks, but manual intervention may still be needed to resolve complex conflicts.
