# Updating the backend
26+
27+
In order to update the backend to a more recent version, do the following:
28+
1. Go to the DMD submodule: `cd dm/src/dmd`;
29+
2. Fetch the latest commits: `git fetch`
30+
3. Checkout the desired commit, e.g.:
31+
- `git checkout origin/master`: Checkout the latest version of the DMD backend;
32+
- `git checkout v2.095.0`: Checkout the state of the backend as of DMD v2.095.0;
33+
- `git checkout 385312b93`: Checkout the state of the backend as of commit `385312b93`;
34+
4. Leave the `dmd` repository, e.g. `cd ../../` to come back to the root of this repository;
35+
5. Commit the change to the submodule: `git add dm/src/dmd && git commit -m "Update DMD backend to master"`
36+
37+
Alternatively, when pulling from this repository, remember to always run `git submodule update --init`
38+
if the submodule have been updated. This is visible from `git status`:
39+
```shell
40+
$ git diff
41+
diff --git a/dm/src/dmd b/dm/src/dmd
