A few places on meta and on the blog advise git pull before ./launcher rebuild app. I’ve never done git pull, only the latter, and my Discourse instance seems to update fine. What’s the value of git pull?

The git pull brings down new versions of the discourse_docker repo, which is the launcher program itself (and all its supporting materials). We do, from time to time, make useful improvements there, although it’s far less frequent (and critical) than updating the application itself.

Git pull needed?

Hmm I think we should drop it at this point, two lines is more better than three.

Should the install guide tell people to run apt update & apt upgrade first?
