Detaching ERPNext or any Frappe app (in developer mode) from github

How can i detach my Frappe app or ERPNext from github so that bench update command only updates on the basis of the changes i have made, not from the github source?

Set the correct git remote in your repos, or pull manually, then do bench migrate

@rmehta, after removing remote upstream from the app (in my case ERPNext) and running bench migrate, i have run bench update to check what has happened. I have got this-

Does it means i have successfully detached my app (ERPNext) from github?

bench update always pulls from upstream. So, maybe you can set your fork to upstream

@pdvyas Ohh, thank you very much for the valuable suggestion. Now my app is going to be updated from my private repo and bench will be updated from frappe as usual. :smile:

I am beginner, so just asking, is it enough to keep bench being updated from frappe and only my app detached if i am going to develop an independent app using frappe ?

yup, this is great for your own frappe app. I’d suggest not forking erpnext as it’s fast moving with high frequency of updates. Check out Not Found and custom scripts to customize ERPNext.
