<p>To update Moonshine to the latest and greatest, first check to see if Moonshine is installed in your application as a Git Submodule:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git submodule | grep moonshine</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you see <code>vendor/plugins/moonshine</code> in the output, then Moonshine is installed as Git submodule. If not, it’s installed directly in your application’s repository.</p>
<h2>Updating the Moonshine Git Submodule</h2>
<p>To update the Moonshine submodule, first, enter the Moonshine plugin directory:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>cd vendor/plugins/moonshine</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You’ll then want to pull the latest updates from GitHub:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git pull origin master</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Then, change directories back to your <code>RAILS_ROOT</code>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>cd -</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You’ll then want to commit and push these changes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git commit vendor/plugins/moonshine -m "updating moonshine"</code></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git push origin master #or whatever branch you're working on</code></p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Updating Moonshine without Submodules</h2>
<p>To update a non-submodule install of Moonshine, run the following to re-install the plugin from GitHub:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>ruby script/plugin install --force git://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine_god.git</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You’ll then want to commit and push these changes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git commit vendor/plugins/moonshine -m "updating moonshine"</code></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><code>git push origin master #or whatever branch you're working on</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you’re using Subversion, a <code>svn commit vendor/plugins/moonshine -m "updating moonshine"</code> will accomplish the same things.</p>
<h2>Deploy!</h2>
<p>Once that’s done, run a <code>cap deploy</code> (or <code>cap production deploy</code> if you’re using capistrano-ext’s multistage support), and the new Moonshine features should be applied to your Rails app@</p>
