The update path is a list of steps that update the database of a Drupal project so that it is in sync with the code.

Running the update path in a Drupal project involves the following steps:

In the following sections, we will dive deeper into each of the preceding steps. These can be accomplished manually with Drupal's administration interface. However, this is a tedious process. Ideally, we would like to make the deployment process as straightforward as possible, so here is how we can automate the preceding steps with Drush commands in a Bash script that we will save as /home/juampy/scripts/update_path.sh:

#!/bin/sh

# Change directory into a Drupal project and run:
#   sh /path-to-this-script/update_path.sh
#
# You may need to change permissions on this script with the following:
#   chmod u+x /path-to-this-script/update_path...
