Update without reseting the database

[DevertNet]

Hello,

it would be great if you can make a small how to, to update without reseting the database:
https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/getting-started/installation-guide#updating-the-repositories

After some research my current update proccess is:

1. Change composer.json (of shopware/development):
   e.g. "shopware/platform": "6.0.0+ea1"
2. Checkout the correct tag/branch in the platform folder
3. run these commands...
   composer update
   ./psh.phar cache
   rm -rf var/cache
   ./bin/console database:migrate --all
   ./bin/console database:migrate --all Shopware
   ./bin/console database:migrate-destructive --all Shopware
   ./psh.phar storefront:install-dependencies
   ./psh.phar administration:build
   ./psh.phar storefront:build
   ./psh.phar cache
   rm -rf var/cache

@DevertNet,

this is not the recommended way to do this, but we are planning to provide a workflow to manage and update shopware installations via Git and Composer. We will update the documentation when we have more information about this option.

Thank you for your feedback!

Greetings,
Phil

Any news on this? I'm developing a theme, while other people are filling the shop with content.
I need the dev tools in the dev template and can therefore not change to the production template.

Hey @TormentedSoul666,

./psh.phar update should help you there, so the workflow would be:

1. check out new version of shopware
2. composer update
3. ./psh.phar update

Kind regards
Jonas

Thank you @keulinho, shouldn't this be added to doc?
