When upgrading laravel from 5.2 to 5.8, do I need to upgrade one by one each with 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5,6, 5.7, 5.8, and check each details of changes? Or can I go to 5.8 at once by Composer JSON upgrade?

I would like to know general upgrade method of Laravel 5.2 → 5.8?

    While I have no deep experience with Laravel, virtually all package managed software frameworks work on the philosophy of a cumulative upgrade being the default. So I would recommend you just upgrade to Laravel 5.8 directly from 5.2 and all should be good. – Giacomo1968 Jun 18 '19 at 00:18

You have two alternative ways of upgrading Laravel to version 5.8:

  1. Create new project with Laravel 5.8, and then install packages. Then move your all models and controller to your new project.

  2. Upgrade Laravel one-by-one with versions 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5,6, 5.7 and 5.8 by following the instructions in this answer.
