升级 dbskill 到最新版本,显示更新内容。
使用场景
- 用户主动调用
/dbskill-upgrade升级 - 显示版本变化和更新内容
升级流程
Step 1: 检测安装位置
if [ -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/dbs" ]; then
INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.claude/skills"
echo "Install location: $INSTALL_DIR"
else
echo "ERROR: dbskill not found in ~/.claude/skills/"
exit 1
fi
Step 2: 获取当前版本
OLD_VERSION=$(cat "$HOME/.claude/skills/dbskill-upgrade/../../VERSION" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
echo "Current version: $OLD_VERSION"
Step 3: 获取远程版本
REMOTE_VERSION=$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dontbesilent2025/dbskill/main/VERSION || echo "")
if [ -z "$REMOTE_VERSION" ]; then
echo "ERROR: Cannot fetch remote version"
exit 1
fi
echo "Remote version: $REMOTE_VERSION"
Step 4: 比较版本
如果 OLD_VERSION 等于 REMOTE_VERSION,告诉用户已是最新版本,结束。
否则继续升级。
Step 5: 备份当前版本
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/.claude/skills/.dbskill-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
cp -r "$HOME/.claude/skills"/dbs* "$BACKUP_DIR/" 2>/dev/null || true
echo "Backup created: $BACKUP_DIR"
Step 6: 下载最新版本
TMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dontbesilent2025/dbskill.git "$TMP_DIR/dbskill"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Failed to clone repository"
exit 1
fi
echo "Downloaded to: $TMP_DIR/dbskill"
Step 7: 替换旧版本
rm -rf "$HOME/.claude/skills"/dbs*
cp -r "$TMP_DIR/dbskill/skills"/dbs* "$HOME/.claude/skills/"
rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"
echo "Upgrade completed"
如果复制失败,从备份恢复:
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Upgrade failed, restoring from backup..."
rm -rf "$HOME/.claude/skills"/dbs*
cp -r "$BACKUP_DIR"/* "$HOME/.claude/skills/"
echo "Restored from backup"
exit 1
fi
Step 8: 显示更新内容
读取 $HOME/.claude/skills/dbs/../../README.md(如果存在),提取从 OLD_VERSION 到 REMOTE_VERSION 之间的更新内容。
格式:
dbskill v{REMOTE_VERSION} — 从 v{OLD_VERSION} 升级成功!
更新内容:
- [从 README 提取的更新要点]
升级完成!
Step 9: 清理备份
询问用户是否删除备份:
echo "Backup location: $BACKUP_DIR"
echo "Keep backup? (will be auto-deleted in 7 days if not used)"
不强制删除,让用户自己决定。
错误处理
- 网络失败:提示用户检查网络连接
- Git clone 失败:从备份恢复
- 文件复制失败:从备份恢复
注意事项
- 只支持通过
~/.claude/skills/安装的版本 - 升级前自动备份,失败时自动恢复
- 不需要用户手动操作 git
