Contract Versions

If you do not want to use the default version of the colonyNetwork smart contracts defined by the colony-cli package, you can update the "deploy-contracts" scripts property in your package.json file to use a specific version. This can be a branch name, a commit hash, or a version tag.

"deploy-contracts": "colony service deploy-contracts --specific glider",
