git stash && git pull origin main

Secondly, we must update dependencies that might've changes from the last release. To do so, run the following command:

pnpm install

4. Configuration

5. Rebuild everything

Now we must build all the packages & apps again. (client, schemas, config, types)

pnpm run build

6. Start SnailyCAD

To bring the CAD back up run the following command:

pnpm run start
