Request for Guidance on Updating Our Wave Boilerplate with Best Practices
Hello ! I am currently using the Wave boilerplate for a project. We are looking to update our version of Wave by integrating the latest enhancements from the boilerplate while retaining our custom modifications. Could you advise us on the most appropriate method for this, particularly on using a fork versus managing branches directly on the main repository? We are using GitLab for our version control.
Your expertise would be very helpful in guiding us to the best approach.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Hey!
In most cases, you would only need the changes from the wave directory. However, I think that with some of the most recent changes, there were some patches to some template files and controllers outside that directory.
What I could suggest in this case is to go over the commit history and see which commits you are currently missing:
https://github.com/thedevdojo/wave/commits/main/
In case you are missing any crucial commits, I could suggest cherry-picking them from GitHub over to your GitLab repository.
We do plan to possibly rework wave v3 so that it ships as a Laravel package instead for easier upgrades in the future!
Best,
Bobby
