Choosing your Wowchemy version (Updating)

[gcushen]

Just to add some more context and examples to the official Update guide.

You can modify your go.mod directly via the online GitHub editor, or locally via your favorite editor, to change the version of the Wowchemy framework that your site uses.

Get the latest stable release (currently v5.4.0):

module mysite

go 1.15

require (
	github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/v5 latest
)

Get a specific tagged release, say v5.3.0:

module mysite

go 1.15

require (
	github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/v5 v5.3.0
)

Get the latest development release:

module mysite

go 1.15

require (
	github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/v5@main
)

Whereas, if you try to get a release via hugo mod, you'll end up with 2 lines in your go.mod, similar to the demos, e.g.: https://github.com/wowchemy/starter-hugo-academic/blob/master/go.mod and https://github.com/wowchemy/starter-hugo-academic/blob/c067c76567e9480c323a54e66d513566b7731114/config/_default/config.yaml#L23
