Can you update swizzle components?

[jcubic]

I was just wondering, there are new versions of Docusaurus and I have old version of swizzle components. Is there a way to swizzle again and based on diff add again my changes? This way I can update swizzle components. Or maybe there is a better way to update them?

It would be nice if it produced a conflict when updating modified files so it's easy to merge user changes with new versions from Docusaurus.

We don't have any other way than swizzling them again.
If you use Git you can then see the diff from what was previously committed, and find a way to merge changes from Docusaurus with your former version.

We'd like to improve things but it's probably not so easy. Here are related issues:

• swizzle --patch #5734
• RFC: Improve theming DX (swizzle) #6114

There's also shadcn/ui CLI that somehow has a similar distribution model and similar problems to solve. They have a cli diff command to help. Maybe we could reuse or take inspiration from it. See also shadcn-ui/ui#790
