I get the following when running sudo pihole -up.

::: Checking for existing repository...
::: Checking /etc/.pihole is a repo... OK!
::: Updating repo in /etc/.pihole... [/] error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/origin/adlistssettings: Invalid argument

done!

When I try running sudo git fetch on /etc/.pihole, I get:

I'd rather not wipe everything and start over.

Try just a plain pihole -up and then git status in the /etc/.pihole directory.

Hi Borat,

Might be best to wipe the local repos and start over. (Your configs will be preserved this way)

sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole
sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/adminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin

pihole -r

After the last step, choose the repair option, and you should be back on track
