I'm encountering this error: "fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/devel" when trying to update Pihole V6 this morning. Any idea what's causing this issue?!?
devel was the branch name used by Pi-hole v5.
If you are seeing this message, it means your Pi-hole is still using v5 commands.
Try to run pihole -r to fix your installation.
Yeah that was the very first thing I tried, that ran successfully, but the error persists. Also, FTL was updated several times without issue previous to this error. Seems like it was newly introduced.
Nevermind: "pihole checkout dev" resolved the issue.
You are on V6, but on the development branch, not the master branch.
If you want to get to the stable (i.e. non-development branch), use the following:
sudo pihole checkout master

Ahhhh, that explains it!! Thank you for that, I had no idea there were 2 different branches. I posted before updating and asked what would be the best route for updating from V6 and I was given that "Dev" branch command. Thanks for the clarification. Ran that and should be on the Master branch from here on out.
