How to update the master branch?
-
Thanks guys, I have one more to upgrade. And figure out why MMM-Traffic won’t upgrade, but I think you way around would help that to.
-
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Traffic git pull
Restart your MagicMirror and you should be good to go. ;)

@PaulB First, make a backup of your install with
cp -r ~/MagicMirror ~/MM-Backup
.Noo! Not a good idea if you’re running on a RPi with small SD card. That is a huge directory:
du -sh ./
~1.3GB, already for a quite small install. You might need that space for the update itself. Never good idea to max out your SD card.Rather use
tar
, and try one of these:cd ~ # remove `v` flag to avoid huge verbose output tar --exclude={.git,node_modules} -zcvf MM_BAK.tgz ./MagicMirror tar --exclude='node_modules' --exclude='.git' -zcvf MM_BAK.tgz ./MagicMirror # This may require you to have the bash shell option globstar' set. # Check with: 'shopt -s globstar' tar --exclude='**/.git/*' --exclude='**/node_modules/*' -zcvf MM_BAK.tgz ./MagicMirror
This will avoid getting the huge node_modules and .git directories.
(You can always git init and reset your git origin url to git fetch from the resp directories if needed to re-instate.) -
if you are using mm as supposed to you only need to backup the config.js and custom.css
-
@e3v3a I take your point; in my case I’m running a reasonable size card and Raspbian/MM are all that is on the card. I do also mention to delete
MM-Backup
when they’re done. I really just wanted to give them the extra insurance of a full backup. Good call ontar
, but they then need to know how to unpack it.@strawberry-3.141 If you’re using git to stash changes, then you’ve clearly modified other files (IIRC,
config.js
and maybecustom.css
are ignored). As above, I just wanted to give extra assurance that they had a full copy if anything went totally awry. -
Hallo,
noob braucht hilfe =)
Wie kann ich bei dieser Fehlermeldung updaten?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror && git pull Aktualisiere 8010e62..60b9a5b error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: modules/default/calendar/calendar.js modules/default/compliments/compliments.js
-
@ninjabreadman - I tried to update accordingly your reply but i’m stranded. After
git stash
the system tells mepi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror $ git stash *** 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: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'pi@magicpi.(none)') Cannot save the current index state
I don’t know how to react on this, you?

git config --global user.email “you@example.com”
git config --global user.name “Your Name”type those commands, add your email and name
git doesn’t allow anonymous actions -
@sdetweil said in How to update the master branch?:
git config --global user.name “Your Name”
Worked!! Thanks!
