Update Minervia

Check for updates and apply them safely while preserving your customizations.

Why This Matters

Minervia evolves with new skills, bug fixes, and improvements. The update system:

  • Detects files you've customized (via checksum comparison)
  • Preserves your changes unless you choose to overwrite
  • Creates backups before any modifications
  • Shows what's new between versions

Quick Start

Run the update:

bash
bash ~/.minervia/bin/minervia-update.sh

Or preview changes first:

bash
bash ~/.minervia/bin/minervia-update.sh --dry-run

What Happens During Update

  1. Version check - Compares installed version to latest on GitHub
  2. Changelog - Shows what's new since your version
  3. Customization scan - Identifies files you've modified
  4. Conflict resolution - For each customized file, you choose:
  • Keep mine (skip this file)
  • Take theirs (use new version)
  • Backup + overwrite (save yours, use new)
  1. Backup - Creates timestamped backup of all tracked files
  2. Update - Applies changes to non-customized files
  3. Report - Shows what was updated

Options

FlagEffect
--dry-runShow what would change without applying
-v, --verboseShow detailed file-by-file actions
--list-backupsShow available backups
--restore TIMESTAMPRestore from a specific backup

Backups

Backups are stored in ~/.minervia/backups/ with timestamped folders:

  • 2026-01-18T10-30-00/ contains all tracked files as of that update
  • Backups are kept forever (no auto-pruning)

To restore from a backup:

bash
bash ~/.minervia/bin/minervia-update.sh --restore 2026-01-18T10-30-00

Process for Claude
