如何将我的工作 Laravel 5.5 升级到 Laravel 6.0

Question

I installed fresh Laravel 6 in my XAMPP. Now my previous project composer.json file is as

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "type": "project",

        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        }
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "classmap": [
            "tests/TestCase.php"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "Tests\\": "tests/"
        }
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-root-package-install": [
            "php -r \"file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "php artisan key:generate"
        ],
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postInstall",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postUpdate",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ]
    },
    "provide": {
        "ext-mongo": "1.6.12"
    },
    "config": {
        "preferred-install": "dist"
    }
}

Reason to upgrade it is I need to connect it with Firebase kreaite/Firebase and that is supporting to 5.8 or above version only.

I tried to do it directly using composer update but fails as lots of other plugin not support this up gradation, Can I directly upgrade to it? Or any other solution if possible without upgrade.

You can simply change your "laravel/framework": "5.5.*", to "laravel/framework": "^6.0", in your composer.json.

You will receive a few other error due to incompatible version such as from phpunit, you can change them accordingly in your composer.json when you see those errors.
