A quick search on google showed the following result -\> [git - github: server certificate verification failed - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35821245/github-server-certificate-verification-failed)

Maybe the debian install in your VM has become outdated?

Thank you, but I don't think so. Everything, to my knowledge, is up to date.

Now this is funny, or maybe not... One of my list must habe gotten an update to block GITHUB. If I turn Pi-hole off, the error goes away. 😇 GITHUB is now allowed and all is back to "normal".

NOTE:

Your screenshot shows you are using an old branch: `development-v6`

There won't be updates to this branch.  
If you want to keep using the development code and receiving updates, checkout the `development` branches (without the `-v6` suffix).

I have no idea how to go about changing that. I just call "pihole -up" and that is it....

```

This looks just a bit to scary to just press "Y"...

I believe that has always been showing for 6 BETA.

`development-v6` **was** the development branch for v6 BETA, but this branch doesn't exist anymore. It was renamed to `development`.

If you want to keep using the development code and receiving updates, use the command suggested by _ **sawsanders** _:

```auto
pihole checkout dev

```

Then answer `Y`.

I went for it and it is still running. 👍🏼 Thanks guys!! Should I have known to change this? I am just a user and don't understand what is going on under the hood.

If you are running _Pi-hole v6 Beta_ you already used `pihole checkout` command.  
There is no other way to install the beta version.

The [original _v6 Beta_ announcement](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-v6-beta-testing/65413) explained how to switch to the development branch:
