Document steps to upgrade Hinode itself

[elijahgagne]

My apologizes if I'm missing it, but after reading all the docs, I don't understand how to upgrade Hinode itself. We followed the advice to run:

gh repo create rc-website-docs --private --template="https://github.com/gethinode/template.git"

I did that back in 2024/10/01. I see https://gethinode.com/docs/getting-started/upgrading/ explains how to upgrade the hugo modules, but that's not relevant for me. Additionally, this template appears to have last been updated in June and layouts now appears to be different when I compare these two:

• https://github.com/gethinode/template/tree/main/layouts
• https://github.com/gethinode/hinode/tree/main/layouts

Are there recommended steps I can take to upgrade Hinode itself? I'm thinking I should just fork https://github.com/gethinode/hinode. Does that seem like a good idea?

Thanks,
EWG

I'm not sure if this question is still relevant @elijahgagne, but I've revised the upgrade notes since you posted this support question.

As you're using the npm version of Hinode, you can the following command from your terminal to upgrade any Hugo modules (including Hinode itself):

npm run mod:update

The full command documentation is available here: https://gethinode.com/docs/getting-started/commands/

Thank you, yes, we are using the npm version. Do you know if that will bring in updates to the default layouts?

Yes, these are included.
