Upgrade a git-based installation

Log in to your server.

Switch to the file system owner.

Change to the directory where you cloned the application. For example,

cd /var/www/magento2

Save any changes you made to the composer.json file because the next steps overwrite it.

Create a backup of your composer.json file.

cp composer.json composer.json.old

Update your local repository to get the latest code:

git pull origin develop

NOTE

If git pull origin develop fails, see troubleshooting.

Diff and merge your composer.json.old file with the composer.json file.

Resolve dependencies and write exact versions to the composer.lock file.

composer update

Update the database:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

Clean the cache:

bin/magento cache:clean
