1To update discourse, do the following:
2
31. Switch to and work from the `master` branch and the directory this
4 file is in.
52. Run `./update.py print-diffs` and update the nginx settings and
6 backend settings accordingly. If you don't know how to, ask for
7 help - do not skip this step!
83. Run `./update.py update`.
94. Run `nix build -L -f ../../../../ discourse.tests` to make sure the
10 update works. Also test manually, if possible.
115. If the update works, commit it. If not, apply necessary fixes and
12 commit. No manual fixes that would be overwritten by the
13 `./update.py` script should be committed - the script should be
14 fixed instead.
156. Run `./update.py update-mail-receiver`. If there's an update, do
16 step 4 and 5 again.
177. Run `./update.py update-plugins`.
188. Run `nix build -L -f ../../../../ discourseAllPlugins.tests` to
19 make sure the plugins build and discourse starts with them. Also
20 test manually, if possible.
219. If the update works, commit it. If not, apply necessary fixes and
22 commit. No manual fixes that would be overwritten by the
23 `./update.py` script should be committed - the script should be
24 fixed instead.
