Similar to the extremely detailed bare metal installation instructions, I miss instructions on how to perform an update.

Hi @Pyromane ,
Here is documentation on how to perform an update.
On 16th of September 2020 I will release v1.4.3. By upgrading to 1.4.3 you can try/check if update related documentation is complete or needs adjustments.

Thanks for the instructions!

Should after that
git checkout
not a
git pull
consequences? Because the changelog.md has not changed for me.

(Sry, I'm still a git newbie)

Hi @Pyromane,

git checkout will "checkout" application source code for exact point your are asking for. E.g. checkout -b v1.4.5 will checkout source code to be exact for version 1.4.5. The git pull command on the hand will retrieve the latest source code from current branch.
Usually the workflow is:

1. git pull                # get latest code from github
2. git checkout -b v1.4.5  # from pulled code, switch to version v1.4.5

I added this points to the documentation.

@Pyromane in case you are happy with resolution of this ticket - you may close it.
