Upgrading to Moodle 3.11 using GIT

Upgrading Moodle can be a pain but if using the (not so scary) command line, we can safely and easily upgrade our Moodle instance in no time at all.
* Note: it is recommended to upgrade to the highest version of 3.10.x before switching to 3.11.
Commands:
Upgrading from 3.10.3+ to 3.10.4+
---------------------------------------------
cd /path/to/your/moodle/wwwroot
sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/maintenance.php --enable
git pull
sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/upgrade.php
sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/maintenance.php --disable
---------------------------------------------
Upgrading from 3.10.4+ to 3.11
---------------------------------------------
cd /path/to/your/moodle/wwwroot
sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/maintenance.php --enable
git pull
git branch --track MOODLE_311_STABLE origin/MOODLE_311_STABLE
git checkout MOODLE_311_STABLE
sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/maintenance.php --disable

Thank you so much!

You're welcome! I haven't made a video on upgrading to 4.2 yet, but it is on my to-do list. Thanks.

thanks, this was very helpful, I even tried it to move from 3.11 to 4.0 and it worked almost great, i'm getting a weird error when trying to login into the site, regarding some class 'mod_grade_renderer' (or something similar) not found, is quite weird, but being moodle 4 so new (one day of life hahahaha) probably a small upgrade bug

[@Wise-Cat]

Small upgrade bug... yeah I had a few of those during my livestream last night (haha). If you check the error logs for your server (and/or turn debugging on) you might find more information to help you diagnose this issue. Good hunting!

Using the CLI method, make a backup isn't necesary? Many thanks in advance.

[@Wise-Cat]

Oh, backups are always necessary. Things only break when you don't have a backup. Always take backups and practice restoring from your backups to make sure you are properly protected at all times.
