I was struggling the other day to update my Hubzilla node and all the scripts and other tricks were failing. I finally decided to get my hands dirty and start to actually use Git. It did take me about a half hour to figure out the changing of the branch, the init, merge (which was failing for me), and getting my local branch synced. The reason was I had never installed it with Git, but once I got it synced and initialised, the actual update ran quickly and flawlessly.
