When trying to update I get this:
> pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -up
> [i] Checking for updates...
> [i] Pi-hole Core: update available
> [i] Web Interface: update available

> [✓] Check for existing repository in /etc/.pihole
> [i] Update repo in /etc/.pihole...

This is not my area of expertise, but run these commands to reset the local repository and get the update completed:
cd /etc/.pihole
sudo git fetch
sudo git merge
sudo git status
pihole -up
Still same error, but here are the steps between.

I'm open to other ideas. I've also tried to repair the install. I don't believe I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I would really prefer not to do that option.
Did you run the git pull command? If not, then go back to that directory and run sudo git pull
If I hadn't tried before, I have now:

Are you running any non-supported modifications? Dark theme or speed test?
What does git remote -v show along with git log -n 1
I'm still pretty new to all things Linux, so I wouldn't even know how to run a non-supported mod. So, no dark theme or speed test that I'm aware of. As for the two git commands:
> pi@raspberrypi:/etc/.pihole $ git remote -v
> origin https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git (fetch)
> origin https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git (push)
> pi@raspberrypi:/etc/.pihole $ git log -n 1

That's a really old version. git pull should update everything, is there a reason the version is so outdated? Can you run sudo mount and post the output to make sure the filesystem is not in read-only mode.
I try to update periodically, but pi-hole hasn't worked for many months. Updating the raspberry itself never seems to give errors obvious to me. Here's sudo mount:

If you don't have any settings that you need to save then I think the best option is to just delete the /etc/.pihole directory and /var/www/html/admin directory and run the installer again.
What settings would I lose, because I have added things to the white and black list, as well as a few other tweaks about how data is saved. Can any of the settings be saved and loaded later? Biggest question: How do I delete directories? Would I just do:
rm -rf /etc/.pihole
rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Would I lose Internet during this process? Just trying to know what I'm in for.
