Sad that there is nothing I can do to fix it or that the community/devlopers come with ideas
.... tried all options with
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole
sudo git pull

nothing.............

@anon55913113 thanks for replying.
I´ve tried the option to checkout for all, but........ unfortunately no go

[i] Shortcut "master" detected - checking out master branches...
[i] Pi-hole core
[✗] Unable to pull Core master branch

then
sudo pihole checkout core master
[✗] Fetching branches from https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git
sudo pihole checkout web master
[✗] Fetching branches from https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git

I have no clue how to fix the dev branch thingie, and uninstalling breaks my DNS resolving ofcourse. Hope someone from developing can help debug.

Try these steps to resolve the problem:

Run these commands for their output:

cd /etc/.pihole
git status
git rev-parse HEAD

Run these commands in the same directory to try and fetch the right tag:

git fetch --tags --force
pihole -v
pihole updatechecker local

Tried your commands @jfb ;

git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean

git rev-parse HEAD

sudo git fetch --tags --force

Found out during install with with curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash -x (verbose) that GIT was failing to download the repository to /etc/.pihole

Solution:
Removed GIT from the raspberry APT, re-runned the install script which reinstalled GIT and it finally worked!

pihole -v
