Can't update GIT or FOG to newer versions.

@Tom-Elliott said in Can't update GIT or FOG to newer versions.:

git reset --hard

Same.

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott You’re doing get reset --hard in the fog git directory?

[Wayne Workman]

@ManofValor my advice would be to just simply delete the entire get directory and re pull the entire thing from GitHub

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott
Yes I did.

[ManofValor]

@Wayne-Workman How do I get rid of everything? I deleted the git dir in the opt folder and in another place , but when I search for git I get a lot of files and folders.

[Wayne Workman]

@ManofValor You would just follow the instructions in the “Upgrade to trunk” article. But one extra step, just deleting the old one you have and making a new directory to put it in.

[ManofValor]

@Wayne-Workman

[root@localhost opt]# ls
fog  git  lost+found  rh  sophos-av  svn  teamviewer
[root@localhost opt]# cd git
[root@localhost git]# ls
fogproject
[root@localhost git]# cd fogproject
[root@localhost fogproject]# ls
[root@localhost fogproject]# git pull
bash: /bin/git: No such file or directory
[root@localhost fogproject]#

I thought I did that. I deleted the old git directory and created a new one and this is what I get.

[root@localhost git]# git pull

[root@localhost fogproject]# git pull

I think I messed something up. When I deleted git from the opt directory, and it didn’t work, I deleted it in a couple other areas like:
/usr/bin/git
/usr/share/git-core

…and one other area that I forgot. I screwed it up, didn’t I?

@ManofValor Try:

rpm --nodeps -e git; yum -y install git

[Tom Elliott]

or
yum reinstall git -y
`

@Tom-Elliott said in Can't update GIT or FOG to newer versions.:

rpm --nodeps -e git; yum -y install git

OK, that went through successfully and I am updated with git and FOG. Thanks again Tom.
