Updating Drupal core when using the composer template for Drupal projects

Actualizar el núcleo de Drupal cuando se usa la plantilla composer para proyectos Drupal

The Drupal project composer template is currently our favorite in the company because it comes prepared with a significant number of improvements which saves us a lot of time when starting a project. If you don't know this template yet, you can visit the official project on github: https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project

When we are using this template, updating from one minor version to another requires a small adjustment in the composer.json file, the process to be carried out is detailed below, which is very simple anyway:

If you are upgrading from Drupal 8.5 to 8.6 replace "~8.5.x" with "^8.6.0" for drupal/core and webflo/drupal-core-require-dev in your composer.json file, it should look like this:

drupal

drupal

Finally you run the update with the following command:

composer update drupal/core webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies
