              @DarkV i understand, but that wasn’t the question

              the git checkout command should have worked,
              but failed.

              now i am trying to figure out why. and what to do about it

              the command prompt looks different after

              cd ~/MagicMirror 
              

              then the last time you did a command

              so try this way

              go to your MagicMirror folder
              and do git status

              show the results

                    @sdetweil I think it must have been a script on the net. It was quite a long time ago, between 2022 and 2023. I honestly cannot remember. I found an old config.js from ‎06 ‎October ‎2023

                      @DarkV ok, my script is the only one I know about and it uses git

                      lets do this to get a new copy and use your config/modules…
                      copy paste this section to a terminal window

                      cd ~
                      # save MM folder
                      mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.org
                      # install new MM (reply N to screen saver/pm2
                      bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
                      

                      once MM is installed again lets make THIS new version look like the old
                      copy/paste this

                      # copy files
                      cd ~
                      cp MagicMirror.org/config/config.js MagicMirror/config
                      cp MagicMirror.org/css/custom.css MagicMirror/css
                      cd MagicMirror/modules
                      # save the new default module folder
                      mv default ..
                      cd ..
                      # copy all the org modules 
                      cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.org/modules .
                      cd modules
                      # remove the old default  modules folder
                      rm -rf default
                      # move back the new default 
                      mv ../default .
                      cd ~/MagicMirror
                      

                      now
                      npm start should work
