Updating erpnext and frappe

Install / Update
1

Hello;

@Ben_Cornwell_Mott

I tried to do update erpnext which is master version as following:

ERPNext: v8.0.29 (master)
Frappe Framework: v8.0.47 (master)

To get the latest changes, but I faced a troubles.

I need to ask a question related to the below steps taken from below link:

cd apps
cd erpnext
git fetch upstream master
git checkout master
cd …
cd …
bench switch-to-master
bench update

The question is:
do I have to do this for erpnext and frappe or only for erpnext? Because I feel that doing it for frappe is wrong.

Regards
Bilal

Please refrain from asking direct questions to individuals in the forum. There are a number of people that can assist you.

If you’re trying to update ERPNext, use bench update from the frappe-bench folder.
If that’s not working, please post a trace of the issue.

OK but really I notified you because I saw for you the reply on the post.
I need to use bench update but as I got to know that bench update has a problem that it might do major update (for example, if my current version is 7 then it might make it 8) and that might cause troubles.
Is it really?
