SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Restart Vellum services and rebuild the macOS app with smart branch handling to ensure safe and repeatable updates across git branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Smart branch handling: pulls from main by default, restarts in-place on feature branches, or switches to a specified branch.
  • Safe preflight and cleanup: verifies stopped processes and silences lingering watchers before restart.
  • Conditional deployment flow: supports --pull to force update and explicit branch selection.

Quick Start

Run the update command to gracefully restart Vellum services, rebuild the macOS app, and apply smart branch handling.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restart Vellum services and rebuild the macOS app safely?▼

To restart Vellum services and rebuild the macOS app safely, run the update command. It enforces preflight checks, verifies stopped processes, and applies branch-aware git behavior for a clean working state.

How does branch-aware git handling work when updating a macOS app?▼

Branch-aware git handling pulls from main by default, restarts in-place on feature branches, or switches to a specified branch. It safely manages uncommitted changes while executing the Vellum service restart.

Can I use this automation to force pull updates and switch git branches in CI workflows?▼

Yes, you can use this automation in local or CI workflows to force pull updates using the --pull flag and select an explicit branch. It safely handles uncommitted changes while executing the deployment flow.

What preflight checks are needed before restarting Vellum services?▼

Preflight checks needed before restarting Vellum services include verifying stopped processes and silencing lingering watchers. Optional dependency installation and a final startup verification ensure a clean, working state.

Why does my Vellum restart fail due to uncommitted git changes?▼

Your Vellum restart may fail because uncommitted git changes block branch switching. The update automation safely handles these uncommitted changes by applying preflight checks to ensure a clean state before rebuilding.
