FAQPage Schema
How do I update the COG framework without overwriting my personal notes?

To update the COG framework without overwriting personal notes, you can sync from an official upstream repository while preserving user content. The process detects local modifications and selectively updates framework files, ensuring no braindumps or notes are affected.

Does updating COG framework files cause merge conflicts with local modifications?

Updating COG framework files does not cause merge conflicts with local modifications. The process detects customizations and offers options to keep or overwrite modified files, ensuring a conflict-free sync from the upstream repository.

Can I selectively choose which COG framework files to update from the upstream repository?

Yes, you can selectively choose which COG framework files to update. The tool performs version comparison and alerts you of local modifications, offering options to either keep your customized files or overwrite them with upstream versions.

What is the best way to sync updates from an official repository while preserving personal content?

The best way to sync official repository updates while preserving personal content is using a selective update mechanism. It tracks version differences, identifies local modifications, and updates framework files without overwriting user data.

Why does updating my framework overwrite personal content instead of preserving customizations?

Updating a framework overwrites personal content when lacking customization detection. This skill prevents that by identifying local modifications beforehand and offering selective update options to preserve user content during the upstream sync.
