@izanbard Thank you.

 #!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
echo "######### CHECKING MAGIC MIRROR ##########"

Has anyone else deployed this script?

When I try to run it as a .py or .sh there is an error on line 6 stating invalid syntax at the end of the first echo row. Any suggestions on clearing this issue?

Delete the " and add straight ones again " (If You edited this file via an alternate editor on win/Mac then it might be a cursive "… try it, worked for me!

	modules/default/calendar/calendar.js
	modules/default/compliments/compliments.js
	modules/default/newsfeed/newsfeed.js
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

what should i do?

@KX900 backup those files somewhere if you want to keep the changes you’ve made (you shouldn’t have made any changes in those files unless you really reaally had to) and then delete them and try to update again.

I was just searching for the same thing and had the same error message.
I renamed the offending file
ran the sudo git pull && nom install command
update worked fine without error and installed a new copy of offending file
copy the original file back if your edits were critical

I have never had an issue updating until tonight. I got the following message back and am not sure how to proceed.

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ git pull

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident name (for ) not allowed

I’m sure it’s something stupid I don’t understand ,(not super knowledgeable about linux). I have tried entering various credentials in various ways but my lack of understanding the correct syntax seems to be my undoing.

Thanks in advance.

@gripworks this usually happens when you have cloned the repository with ssh instead of https.
At least that’s what I have figured out works. :)

If you just do the suggested commands it’s all solved.
It’s github that wants to know who you are. :)

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
