Updating MM fails

droidus

Here is what is happening:

 git pull && npm run install-mm
hint: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
hint: discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
hint: commands sometime before your next pull:
hint:
hint:   git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
hint:   git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
hint:   git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only
hint:
hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
hint: invocation.

@droidus did u perchance checkout the develop branch before to fix a problem.

best way to get out of this,

rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror.2
install MagicMirror using my script

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

the in the new magic mirror temporarily rename the module defaults folder to something else, so this copy command does write over anything

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
mv defaults temp
copy the old mm module folder content here in the mm’s module folder, including the old defaults folder
cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.2/modules/ .
(dot at the end means here)

delete the defaults folder that was copied
rm -rf defaults
restore the new defaults folder
mv temp defaults

then copy your old config.js and custom.css from the old MagicMirror.2 folder over to the new one
