It is possible to still run the updates but you can’t apply them directly to a git branch via the Toolkit code.
The approach you can use is,
- Pull your git repo down onto your drive.
- Set your config to use a dev descriptor to point to the files on disk. You’ll probably want to make a second config entity in Shotgun and restrict it to your self for testing purposes.
- Open Shotgun Desktop and navigate to your project, and select the top-right drop-down menu (ensure you have the right config selected) and you should see options for updating your config.
- This will apply the update your config on disk, and then you can commit the changes to your git branch, and push to the remote.
Note: there is a “Check for core updates…” option but this is currently not working, unfortunately. The work around it to just modify the version number in the config/core/core_api.yml
