Getting ready

Suppose you reported an issue with partner_address_street3 and received a notification that the issue was solved in the lasted revision of the 9.0 branch of the partner-contact project, you will want to update your instance with this latest version.

How to do it…

To apply a source modification to your addon from GitHub, you need to perform the following steps:

How it works…

This is just a simple application of all the previous recipes we've seen; we get a new version of the addon and we update it in our instances.

If git pull --ff-only fails, you can revert to the previous version using this command:

$ git reset --hard 9.0-before-update-$(date --iso)

Then, you can try git pull (without --ff-only), which will cause a merge, but this means you have local changes on the addon.

If the update step breaks, refer to the Updating Odoo from Source recipe in Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment, for the recovery instructions. Remember to always test an update on a copy of a database production first.
