Updating ODK

A new version of the Ontology Development Kit (ODK) is out? This is what you should be doing:

1. Install the latest version of ODK by pulling the ODK docker images. In your terminal, run:

   docker pull obolibrary/odkfull
   

2. To update your repository, go to your src/ontology directory.

   cd myrepo/src/ontology
   

3. Create a new git branch in your usual way, then run the update command.

   odkrun update_repo
   

   Note, for older ODK versions the command was sh run.sh make update_repo, and it had to be run TWICE (the first time it could fail, as the update command needed to update itself).

4. Check that all your GitHub workflows (in .github/workflows/*.yml) are using the latest version of the ODK. For the workflows that are maintained by the ODK itself (such as .github/workflows/qc.yml), this should have been done automatically by the update_repo command above, but if you have any custom workflow, you will have to update them yourself.

5. Review all the changes and commit them, and make a PR the usual way. 100% wait for the PR to pass QC - ODK updates can be significant!

6. Send a reminder to all other ontology developers of your repo and tell them to install the latest version of ODK (step 1 only).
