Update ButterCut FAQs

Question 1

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever you want to check for new features, apply bug fixes, or synchronize your local ButterCut installation with the latest stable release on GitHub without manual file management.

Question 2

How do I know the update was successful?

Accepted Answer

After the update, the skill automatically runs 'bundle exec rspec' to verify the installation. It will compare the old and new version numbers and alert you immediately if any automated tests fail.

Question 3

What does the Update ButterCut skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill automates the entire ButterCut update lifecycle. It checks your current version, detects if you are using Git, handles the file transfer via git pull or rsync, preserves your local libraries, and runs verification tests to ensure a successful installation.

Question 4

Does this skill work for non-Git installations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a Git repository is not detected, the skill automatically switches to a fallback method that downloads the latest archive from GitHub, extracts it, and patches your files while maintaining directory integrity.

Question 5

How does it protect my local modifications and libraries?

Accepted Answer

The skill is designed with safety first: it checks for uncommitted Git changes before starting and uses specific rsync exclusions to ensure your 'libraries/' directory and custom configurations are not overwritten during the update process.
