Updating cloned github repo from dashboard

  • Quick question:
    If I clone the github wordpress/wordpress repo to my local develop machine (I use this for debugging plugins – not making any permanent changes to core, just throwaway edits), and then I do an upgrade from the dashboard, what happens to my local git repo?
    Does it disappear, or will I just see the new “uncommitted” changes on top?

    Hi there,

    When you say, update, do you mean updating the version of WordPress you’re currently running on? Whenever you clone the repository it will automatically install the latest version (5.2.2). I don’t believe the git repository will disappear, as it’s still hooked into your site. You can always do a git pull in your cloned repository and grab the latest changes made to the master branch as opposed to updating manually through the dashboard.

    Thanks!
    Tyler
