How to get your Version

Open Heinerion opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Big Thanks for taking up the work instead of the original maintainer!

Do you have a hint, how I can use your fork instead of the stale extension? Or maybe you might plan to continue the extension under another id, so one can select yours instead of https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/427/workspaces-to-dock/ :innocent:

Ah yeah, I wasn't planning on fully maintaing this. Just some bug fixes, so I don't want to release it on the extension site. Anyway..

The way I do it is by cloning the repo to some folder, and making a soft link from where ever you cloned it to the gnome extensions folder ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

in my case that is: ln -s ~/Projects/workspaces-to-dock/[email protected] ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

Will be slightly different for you of course

That way whenever there is an update you can just pull the repo and restart gnome.

I am now using the simlink as you suggested.

Thank you for your efforts!
