Upgrading

Upgrading from a Previous Version of Resgen

Upgrading Resgen is easy, but you'll want to make a backup of your applied directory and config.yml file, just in case.

Once you have a safe copy of the necessities, begin the update process by navigating to Resgen's directory in your terminal. If Resgen was installed to your desktop:

Windows:

cd Desktop/resgen

Linux & Mac:

cd ~/Desktop/resgen

Now pull the repo, with Git:

git pull

If you get a warning that config.yml will be overwritten, you can run git stash (if you're familiar with popping stashes), or simply destroy your customizations and start fresh on next run:

git checkout -- config.yml

You will need to run git pull once more, to complete the transaction after doing a checkout of config.yml

Once the pull completes and you see the updated files statistics from your terminal, you can either:

• Restore config.yml from your backup
• Start a new config file:

ruby resgen

to generate the starter spreadsheet and prepare the application for use.

• Go into config.yml and ensure the directory where all of your previously applied job postings are stored, is set under appliedir.

Now, run the upgrade script that was introduced in v1.2.0:

ruby upgrade.rb

It should only take a few seconds for your previously applied-to jobs to be imported; you'll be prompted upon completion to run a test to see your new reports.
