Continuing the discussion from [Discourse Canned Replies](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-canned-replies/48296/89), where SAM said:

I have a doubt with the upgrade ssh code:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

```

When you do that, what version of discourse will be upgraded?  
I mean, beta branch or stable branch?

Depends on which branch your `app.yml` says to use.

I think that by default, a custom install of Discourse uses the beta branch.

Also, `cd /var/discourse && git branch` will tell you the current branch.

According to the repo, the default version is tests-passed

That will tell you the current branch of `discourse_docker`. To get the current branch of discourse you want

```sh
/var/discourse/launcher enter app
git branch

```

But, as said above, the easiest way is to check your own app.yml file
