Help upgrading

[PaigeLynn]

So I went with an image it's one behind and I follow the upgrade instruction and I place

 git reset --hard origin/1.12.2

And I get this error unknown revision of path not in the working tree how do I get around this to fix this

[PitaJ]

It should be origin/v1.12.2, notice the "v"

[PaigeLynn]

@PitaJ same issue even with the V

[PaigeLynn]

this is the error Im getting

fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/v1.12.2': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

[PaigeLynn]

got the update to kinda work Now Im getting these fails

I tried running this as sudo and non sudo (non sudo i get premission denied) AND IT BROKE MY SITE

You have managed to mess up the file permissions in the NodeBB directory. You should always execute ./nodebb, npm, and git commands under the same unprivileged user, which means no sudo.

You will need to recursively chown the nodebb directory back over to whatever unprivileged user should own it.

What upgrade instructions are you trying to follow?
