How do I upgrade an existing stellar-core to the latest updated code in git?
I tried finding out but couldn't get any details.
NOTE: I have built stellar_core from source code and not used the docker.

There is no trick, just pull the source code again (latest version) and build it again

Will this upgrade the changes related to base reserve as well? The minimum base reserve is 0.5 XLM now. I want that as a major update.– swetaFeb 20, 2018 at 7:29

Also, will this not erase the xdr files in buckets folder? If I delete existing core and get the latest version, will this create a problem as I have data in DB ? Will the core b in sync post making the changes?– swetaFeb 20, 2018 at 11:48

building new version is not destructive, it won't hurt your buckets/DB. I guess you're on your own network if asking about base reserve? After update your nodes need to vote for upgrade stellar.org/developers/stellar-core/software/… Since it's your own network you can choose base reserve value yourself. The only problem is that SDK may not play nice with it– umbrelFeb 21, 2018 at 9:49
