How to test a beta version of phabalicious in parallel

Sometimes it would be neat to test if a new beta version of phabalicious works with my local projects, without breaking
my productivity if I encounter problems. Fortunately it is rather safe to have two phab versions installed on your local
computer.

Usually you keep phabalicious up-to-date by running phab self-update. The easiest way to install a beta-version side
by side to the official version are the following commands:

$ curl -L  https://github.com/factorial-io/phabalicious/releases/download/3.8.0-beta.16/phabalicious.phar --output /usr/local/bin/phab38
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/phab38
$ phab38 --version
phabalicious 3.8.0-beta.16
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Please adapt the version in the url to your likings. After a successfull installation you can update the beta version using

phab38 self-update --preview
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And if you want to test if your project is still working with the new beta version, just substitute phab with phab38, e.g.

phab38 -cmbb docker run
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • If you encounter any problems with a beta or a stable version please create an issue
  • To remove the beta-version just run rm /usr/local/bin/phab38
