which branch are you on and what does VVV's splash screen show? git status
output should help here, also git remote -v
might reveal something off
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick response.
The splash screen says the following:
v3.12 Ruby:2.6.6, Path:"/Users/stvaughan/vagrant-local" _/_/_/ git::stable(aee9a695)
Platform: darwin19.2.0 shell:/bin/zsh vagrant-hostsupdater vagrant-goodhosts shared_db_folder_disabled Vagrant: v2.2.10, virtualbox: v6.1.50
From the two commands you suggested I got the following:
git status On branch stable Your branch is up to date with 'origin/stable'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add
Untracked files:
(use "git add
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
On the above ACF and TTricks are two of the test WordPress sites I have installed. They are also two aliases I have at the top of the install so mayne this is what is referred to here.
Pic to Upload is just a folder of pictures for uploading to the TTrick site. Its at the top level of the install as well.
VAGRANT UPDATE is the one I don't seem to be able to identify.
AND
git remote -v origin https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV.git (push)
GitHub
An open source Vagrant configuration for developing with WordPress - Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV
Yup this explains it:
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add ..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore ..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: Vagrantfile
git diff
will tell you what modifications you made but as long as there are changes you can't pull down the newer commits with newer versions of VVV
Thanks Tom, I'll have a go at that.
@irishetcher did you get it updated in the end?
Hi Tom,
It still keeps installing to the same version. But, I do notice that I am actually on v3.12 not the Vagrant version v2.2.10 as I first reported by mistakes. So maybe that's where I should be anyway?
I managed to deal with the VAGRANT UPDATE file. That file has theses instructions to update?
VAGRANT UPDATE
# If you need a fresh start it's probably sensible to make sure you are on the stable branch
git checkout master
# Make sure this is the latest VVV
git pull
# Turn the machine on (so destroy can run its cleanup)
vagrant up
# Destroy the machine
vagrant destroy
# Make sure we use the latest version of the base box
vagrant box update
# Make sure the recommended vagrant plugins are installed
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
# And that they're all up to date
vagrant plugin update
# Start VVV and create the VM from scratch
vagrant up --provision
By any chance are these the instructions to update? There are so many versions of update around, it's always hard to guage which one to use.
git status is also saying that the directory I have placed in the top level (Pic to Upload) is untracked I followed the instructions to git add but then it wants me to push it. Not sure, if this is something that is pushed somewhere, where that somewhere is. If I try to move that directory out and run git status agian I get a list of warnings so I just followed the instructions to restore. git restore --staged Pic\ to\ Upload
Appologies if my explanation is vague. The command line is not something I use everyday.
What I have works for some local work. I have started using Local by Flywheel as well so for what I need this might suffice.

I don't know where you got those instructions from, they look out of date, but all update instructions assume you have a clean git checkout, if git
considers your checkout unclean with changes that haven't been committed then nothing past git pull
can be done until that is resolved. Until git status
says you have no untracked changes, and git pull
works fine, the other steps are meaningless
To be clear, the issues you've had so far aren't specific to VVV, they're generic git problems
These are the current instructions: https://varyingvagrantvagrants.org/docs/en-US/installation/keeping-up-to-date/
VVV
Update VVV from time to time to keep pace with new fixes and improvements.
I think trying git pull may be my issue here. I think it must have been installed from the download originally. Is there any way I can hook up to the git repository for this.
I just tried a manual install, but tricky trying to figure out what not to overrite. I made a mess but managed to rcover with a backup of the original directory.
You splash screen and git status output indicate that you're on the stable
branch, an ls -al
should reveal a .git
folder.
git diff
should show you what the untracked/uncommitted change is that git
is trying to avoid destroying, I don't know what the change is but if you've ever modified that file to add a shared folder, enable public networking etc then that'll prevent updates from being pulled via git

A git stash
might also help
Hi,
I just noticed, after not using VVV for a while that that my version is at 2.2.10. I have attempted to update to a variant of version 3 but I keep arrivibg back at 2.2.10. I have tried the follwoing procedure:
turn off the VM
vagrant halt
destroy the Ubuntu 14 VM
vagrant destroy
pull down the latest update
git pull
provision a shiny new Ubuntu 18 VM
vagrant up --provision
Anyone have any insights into why VVV may not be updating? I'm on the latest version of mac0S.
