Hello, I am very happy to be back in the Slicer community.😀

* * *

I typically use an older version of the slicer for development, but thanks to the efforts of the developers, new features are constantly being added—and I find myself using some or all of these updates.

Now, what I want to ask is:

**How to quickly recompile updated code based on the current build version?**

Because I don’t want to run commands like `cmake build` and compile everything step-by-step to get a new version every time I perform a `git pull`.

Enter on `SlicerRelease/Slicer-build` folder using `cd` and execute the build command there, that way you’ll only rebuild Slicer code and not the dependencies
