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
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
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
- 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
