I have looked at other forums to no success. Any help is appreciated.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Pihole should install
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
Install ends with error "Could not update local repository. Contact"
I have looked at a few things from reddit and this website and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks again
Please post the entire output of the following command (copy and paste into a reply please, not with a picture of a screen showing the text).
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x

I could not put the whole output because im a new user and cannot put links but this is the ending of the code
You can post the code inside "fences" (```), like this:
```
Paste your code here.
The code can contain links and @ characters
```
What is the output of:
cd /etc/.pihole
sudo git status
the output is:

Apparently the initial attempt to install Pi-hole failed, leaving some files (and maybe some incomplete files) behind.
Since you are trying to install Pi-hole (not update), execute these commands to remove any leftover from the failed installation attempt, to make sure you are starting from zero:
cd /
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole
Then, try to install Pi-hole again.
Strange that git status does not show any branches or code. It's almost like it's a bare repository that only ran git init and that's not part of the installation process. There are changes that are staged which requires git add to be run and that also is not part of our install process.
If you haven't rm'd the directories it would be nice to see what sudo git remote -v shows.
