+To update from a dataset with a shared history, you
|
|
|
+need to add this dataset as a sibling to your dataset.
|
|
|
+"Adding a sibling" means providing DataLad with info about
|
|
|
+the location of a dataset, and a name for it. Afterwards,
|
|
|
+a "datalad update --merge -s name" will integrate the changes
|
|
|
+made to the sibling into the dataset.
|
|
|
+A safe step in between is to do a "datalad update -s name"
|
|
|
+and checkout the changes with "git/datalad diff"
