Update asset walkthrough

1/ Create workspace.

A workspace is the local representation of a project mapped from a github repository. This is where assets are updated.

bilrost create-workspace relative/path/to/folder/to/create organization test master --description "test workspace"

2/ Create branch.

Branches allows work isolation. Every update must happen within a new branch in order to avoid conflicts.

bilrost create-branch new_branch

3/ Subscribe

Subscription pulls given asset content to workspace.

bilrost subscribe /assets/test_asset

4/ Update an asset.

Define new asset properties.

bilrost update-asset /assets/test_asset --add /resources/test_asset/tools --delete /resources/test_asset/detail

5/ Stage the modification

Adds the subscribed asset to the stage list.

bilrost stage /assets/test_asset

6/ Commit

Pushes the staged assets to remote server.

bilrost commit "Updated /assets/test_asset"

7/ Create Pull Request

Go to project github webpage and create a pull request from the commited branch. Ask for a colleague to review and merge your updated assets!
