Update guide to new releases with nx cli

[sebastiandg7]

Is there any update guide for new releases when using the nx cli?

I'm currently running version 8.0.14 and want to update to 8.1.1.

Note: My nx workspace is not using the angular cli, it uses the nx cli. Running

$ nx migrate @nstudio/xplat

fails.

Here is the output of

$ nx migrate @nstudio/xplat

>  NX  Report complete - copy this into the issue template

We'll check about adding Nx's migrate support alongside the ng update support 👍

How do we migrate in the meantime? Simply doing it manually through package.json files, or should we update it using any other method?

@diegovincent after updating Nx using this guide should get you most of they way https://nx.dev/angular/workspace/update - that’s how we update our workspaces - from there it depends on which apps you may have in the workspace (we often update electron and nativescript manually however ionic should do well with an Nx migration).

@NathanWalker Thanks for the quick response. Quick question, to update Cypress to v4.x.x in the v8 workspace, can I manually update it in the npm, or is it a bad practice to touch dependencies manually in the package.json?
