So what's the difference between update and update-only? The ability to use a plugin?

[steveoh]

Update would run through all the update scripts. I envision that being the command the scheduled task calls. update-only would be a way that we could interact with forklift to say, i want to update-only parcels or broadband.

[stdavis]

OK. I get it now. I wonder if there is a better name than update-only. Can't think of one right now. Maybe we can add a description for each of the methods in docopt. But ya, I like the concept a lot. There are lots of times that I want to manually run updates for a single project.

what do you think about using forklift to add to the config and other things like that?

forklift add-path <path> to add to the config file etc?

[stdavis]

I think that could be useful. But only if it was smart enough not to add duplicates and maybe even have a command for listing the existing paths. Then I could see it actually saving time. But if it was me I would probably just leave it to hand editing the .json file. :)

[steveoh]

Yeah I was thinking it could be smart about the file, it could check that the path was accessible and existed and wasn't a duplicate etc. listing the config paths sounds nice too.
