- After recently performing upgrades using GIT, many asked how to start using GIT if up to now one has been using zip files. In this video I take you through the process and also show some pitfalls to watch out for...
Also, I try (unsuccessfully) to break my Moodle. But never fear, I succeeded later and will add that as a bonus video and link to it here.

Useful documentation: GIT for Administrators

Thank you so much! I have watched this video so many times with lots of interruptions as I had to learn so many things in between about web hosting and now finally I'm through and it's working! Brilliantly explained and showing that administration can be fun :D 👏
Glad it was helpful! May your future upgrades also be smooth.
Thank you! This made the process so much simpler. 👏
Glad it helped! Git remains the easiest way to do regular upgrades that I know. Enjoy!
Thanks for the guide.
I'm using a Bitnami server image on AWS so the web folder (apache) is already a symbolic link, but I think I can work it out.
Love your work!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video. Finally I can update my installation via git :)
Glad it helped. GIT makes upgrading a lot easier.
If you're getting a T_VARIABLE error when trying to move from 401 to 402 it's because 401 needs php8
Good to know. Sometimes error messages can be pretty cryptic, thanks for helping us decipher them.
Can you upgrade using GIT on a shared hosting like HOSTINGER or do you need a dedicated server ?
Well, you do need to have access to git, which is a command line tool. Some hosts offer SSH command line access without being a dedicated server or VPS. Your mileage may vary.
Keep it up, very much usefull. thank you
Sounds like you have a plugin that either has files missing, or is not compatible with newer versions of Moodle. I have given an example of this with theme_essential going beyond Moodle 3.6 in this video ruclips.net/video/dyovDTmENLk/видео.html
For starters you might wish to move the problem module's directory out of your Moodle code and check if you can recover the system without reverting to your backup. Unfortunately, this all tends to be very case-by-case depending on which plugins are actually installed and causing issues.
