Alas…
```plaintext
root@forum:~# sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
sudo: ./launcher: command not found

You should navigate to the discourse directory first with `cd /var/discourse`.

Thank you very much, it’s fixed!
For next time and for other users, since it seems more efficient to perform updates via SSH, what commands should be executed when the Admin Panel indicates a Docker update AND a Discourse update? And in what order should we proceed?

A rebuild upgrades both 🙂

Thanks! So in summary
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

~~I don’t think `git pull` is necessary, a rebuild performs it.~~ edit: see ed’s post below
`sudo` isn’t required if you are logged in as root.
You can also run it as a single command: `/var/discourse/launcher rebuild app`.

I don’t think this is universally true. See for example
[‘rebuild app’ failed. looks like pnpm problem](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rebuild-app-failed-looks-like-pnpm-problem/397610)
It’s also very cheap, so I’m not sure it helps to note that it might not be necessary.
