updating without losing settings in config, and js files?

[navyvette87]

I just updated today and had to reset all the screen adjustments I had set during build. Is there a way to do the update without it changing the files back to default?

Do all of your editing, configuration and addition of new modules in the MagicMirror/config/config.js file.
Did you modify each module’s javascript file separately?

@Cyberwrights mine is highly modified. Pretty much every character is changed in some way.

@navyvette87 @Cyberwrights is right, and where possible you should migrate your changes into config.js, custom.css, etc.

When updating, git insists that your files not have changes that conflict with those of the repository. Use git stash as outlined here to store your local changes, pull updates from the repo, then restore your own changes.

Just curious, why would you modify any file other than the config.js and the custom.css file?
