Leftwm-theme update is not updating - code online will not be downloaded

May I ask to make it a priority so that we can update our leftwm themes?

We have discussed this before.
Now we do git clone at the start if I am not mistaken. That works like a charm.

We can do a git pull if we update the themes. That works fine if there are no changes locally.

What happens if a user has changed something? What do we do then?

I have a instance where the user has changed his readme.
I want to update the leftwm theme and the readme does not get imported.

Trying to be part of the solution here. Thinking out loud.

if the theme has changed online we can give users the choice to make a backup yes/no

sometimes you just have changed the font size of background color and it is not worth the hazzle to even have a back up and I would say (No) and then git clone again from scratch so we have the last code in (we know this works great) - so not "git reset --hard" but git clone ...

if yes then we make a backup of that folder and alert the user of that fact - with meld you can compare both folders then and git clone again from the net - since that works

Leftwm-theme update is analogous to apt-get update, it doesn’t actually download repositories, just a listing of repositories. Does leftwm-theme upgrade not do this already?

Is leftwm-theme not pulling known.toml properly now?

I agree with the behavior, though off the top of my head I’m not sure what leftwm-theme will do.
