So I am in the process of upgrading an old staging instance so that I can do some testing of changes before rolling out to production, and when I run `./launcher rebuild app` it goes through the process of downloading latest image, etc. - and then it gives me these errors about doing `git pull` as part of the rebuild process:
```
$ ./launcher rebuild app

I have not changed these, and it looks like they’re all changes from the last time I did a rebuild. How should I proceed?
Edit: I admit I am not a great `git` master - so if there’s some git command I can run to force it to update just let me know.

You can manually ./git pull from within /var/discourse

That is what the script is doing - and that’s the result I am getting whether I run the script or execute outside the script
