Quick Update

A little late with this post and don't really have time to make it long so it will just be quick.

As it's been a little while since I've been able to write or code, already some things were getting rusty so I had to search for how to do a few things.

Given I only have a few minutes today, I thought I would just do some maintenance, mainly check if there were any updates to Hexo. How do I do that again? Good thing I wrote a post about it. This learning in public thing is coming in handy.

Before I ran the update command in npm, I was curious if there was any way to see first what needed to be updated. After finding some packages I could install, I saw that there was something already baked in:

npm outdated

This gives a summary of the packages that need to be updated which resulted in the following:

To quote Steve1989MREInfo, "Nice."

This showed that there were some updates to be applied. I then ran the command I had discovered in my previous post:

npm update

It did its thing and after it was complete, I ran "npm outdated" again:

Hmm . . . that's strange. It updated Hexo and the theme I use but nothing else. I know I previously read about the differences between the "Current", "Wanted", and "Latest" columns but that was now a couple of weeks ago so it's time for a refresher to figure this out. Me thinks the color of the text is a clue but unfortunately I've run out of time.

Guess I know what my next post will be about. :)
