Convert installed testing DietPi to stable

[darkgeek]

Hi,

I have a NanoPi R5S running the testing image from one week ago. With the 9.1 releasing now, is it necessary/possible to “upgrade” my testing version to the stable version?

G_DEV_BRANCH master

Seems to be no G_DEV_BRANCH in config files:

$ cat /boot/dietpi/.version | grep BRANCH
G_GITBRANCH='master'

$ cat /boot/dietpi.txt | grep BRANCH
DEV_GITBRANCH=master

Nope

Nope

G_DEV_BRANCH is a shell command that will automatically switch to the branch specified. In the case above master

MichaIng/DietPi/blob/02592a3c0a9b33d851a5b71390c9a6571287c355/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals#L1966-L1971

OK, my dev branch is already master from my last post, so I don’t need to do anything, right?

[Joulinar]

you should see current branch used within the banner.

[darkgeek]

The banner says it’s 9.1.1:

[Joulinar]

yes this is master branch, otherwise it would have an addition like dev or beta

Nope

Oh OK, because in the example G_CONFIG_INJECT is used.

G_DEV_BRANCH

As you can see above on the GitHub link I shared, G_DEV_BRANCH does nothing other than summarise the manual steps in a single function
