We no longer recommend using react-native-git-upgrade. You can take a look at https://github.com/react-native-community/rn-diff-purge which includes a list of changes between various versions. Once you've updated to 0.59 manually using that method, you will be able to use the new react-native upgrade.

See http://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/#upgrading-to-059 for more details.

@hramos when you run react-native-upgrade, it still tells you to use react-native-git-upgrade. Could this be removed? I wasted a lot of time trying to get that to work when react-native-upgrade would have been correct.

You should consider using the new upgrade tool based on Git. It makes upgrades easier by resolving most conflicts automatically.
To use it:
- Go back to the old version of React Native
- Run "npm install -g react-native-git-upgrade"
- Run "react-native-git-upgrade"
See https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/upgrading.html
