How to move v8 updates from updates directory to replacing concrete directory?

Permalink
I have a concrete5 site at v8.2.1 and I need to change how I manage updates. Right now I unzip framework updates into the "updates" directory and update through the GUI but I want to transition to merging updates into the concrete directory (so I can use the CLI for future updates instead and have less files to deal with).

I replaced my root concrete directory with v8.2.1's concrete directory and deleted my config/update.php file but when I load the site it errors out b/c it can't find files at the old updates/v8.2.1 location.

I found a thread answering how to do this with v5 of concrete but in v8 I don't see a site.php config file.

Anyone know how C5 v8 keeps track of updates?

I think this might be the answer https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/deleting-old...

I was deleting config/update.php altogether but instead I should point it to the default concrete folder.

EDIT: Nope that didn't work. But I was able to update to the next version by replacing the concrete directory, deleting the update.php file, and running the cli update command.
