Pull your settings and apply updates (software, configuration and repositories).

Hint: Use 'icd' command to easily navigate between your IDE home, projects, and workspaces. Type 'icd --help' for more details.
Error: IDEasy failed with exit code 1
This is very confusing for the user.
- he should have called
ide --skip-updates updateinstead (see improve help output #1642) - the automatic help output is long and hiding away the important informations about the error.
- the important error information is not very helpful:
Invalid arguments: "update" "--skip-updates"
Instead we should have:
Option "--skip-updates" not found for commandlet "update".
To see the available options and arguments call the following command:
ide update help
Error: IDEasy failed with exit code 1
Another example:
$ ide set-edition intellij --cfg=config
Invalid CLI argument 'config' for property '--cfg' of commandlet 'set-edition'
No matching property found
Invalid arguments: "set-edition" "intellij" "--cfg=config"

Usage: ide [option]* set-edition <tool> <edition>
Set the edition of the selected tool.
This will set the according tool edition variable in your configuration file. If you want to roll out such change and share it with your team, you can commit and push your settings git repository.
By default these changes are saved in the project specific settings. Use --conf --home or --workspace to specify otherwise.

<edition> The tool edition.
<tool> The tool commandlet to select.
Options:
--cfg Selection of the configuration file (settings | home | conf | workspace).
--locale the locale (e.g. '--locale=de' for German language).
--no-colors disable colored log messages.
--skip-updates disables tool updates if the configured versions match the installed versions.
-b | --batch enable batch mode (non-interactive).
-d | --debug enable debug logging.

Error: IDEasy failed with exit code 1
I would rather expect:
$ ide set-edition intellij --cfg=config
Invalid CLI argument 'config' for property '--cfg' of commandlet 'set-edition'
Did you mean "--cfg=conf"?
To see the available options and arguments call the following command:
ide set-edition help
