How to update URL of theme component git repo?

[downey (Michael Downey)]

I recently had a theme component that had its Git repository URL change.

Is there any way to simply update the target URL for this theme component without having to remove it and re-configure all of its settings?

There’s a remote_themes table.

You can do something like

theme_id=5 # replace with whatever theme is at the of theme URL
theme=Theme.find(theme_id)
rtheme=RemoteTheme.find(theme.remote_theme_id)
rtheme.remote_url='new url'
rtheme.save

Or, it could ruin your life completely.

Y hoy puedes obtener toda la configuración del tema en json, lo que facilita copiar la configuración al tema con la nueva url.
