| - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you opted for symbolic links to the ''[[dir:exec]]'' and ''[[dir:text]]'' directories, the only file you might need to manually update or merge would be the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]'' file. All the other files should be automatically updated with your ''git pull'' command; you should be able to skip to the final step (''jsexec update''). | - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you opted for symbolic links to the ''[[dir:exec]]'' and ''[[dir:text]]'' directories, the only file you might need to manually update or merge would be the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]'' file.

| - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you did **not** opt for symbolic links, you will need to recursively copy the ''repo/exec'' and ''repo/text'' directories to your ''sbbs/[[dir:exec]]'' and ''sbbs/[[dir:text]]'' directories. | - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you did **not** opt for symbolic links, you will need to recursively copy the ''repo/exec'' and ''repo/text'' directories to your ''sbbs/[[dir:exec]]'' and ''sbbs/[[dir:text]]'' directories. |
| - Over-write or merge-with your modified ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]''. If you see some corrupted text output from the terminal server or some features don't work as expected, skipping this step could be the cause. If you don't have have or expect to make any edits to your ''text.dat'' file, consider just using a 0-byte ''text.dat'' file to always [[custom:text.dat#use defaults]]. | - Over-write or merge-with your modified ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]''.
