Upgrading to 0.5.3

When I'm trying to upgrade from 0.5.2 to 0.5.3

What is this?

Why don't you try to set user.email and user.name like in example? If you don't want to make commits, you can set it to something random.

I set the email and username but there's another error's.

and

Now I can't start the nodebb. using ./nodebb start

After git pull something goes wrong with package.json, it couldn't automerge. If I were you, I would try to merge manually or I would just backup old package.json, download and put new one instead.

@humanmadeaccount I just updated and had the same issue.

try git reset --hard origin/v0.5.x
Fixed it for me.

Very often, the error messages do tell you what's wrong
