A short explanation on how Drupal core gets updated - i.e. when security releases and updates need to be installed at intervals.
This documentation is about updating Drupal core. Updating a Drupal site means an update from one minor version to another
There are two options to updating Drupal core:
- Manual by replacing old files with new ones by means of manually deleting old files and uploading new ones via FTP. This method is prone to errors and is time consuming
- Composer (Recommended). Composer is a managing application that runs from the command line and installs dependencies (e.g. libraries) for an application.
In this video, I will explain and show how we update Drupal core using Composer.
