upgrade from 5.9 to 6.1, prompt shows I need to upgrade git first

[Greg Gesualdi]

upgrade from 5.9 to 6.1, prompt shows I need to upgrade git first, which I think is on 2.10.

This is on a Windows 2012R2 server

I found the instructions on your site, but they mention only to choose the 'run git from a cmd prompt'

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/installing-and-upgrading-git-776640906.html

There are still 2-3 additional prompts/sections to make choices and I don't want to make the incorrect ones.

Is there full documentation on the git upgrade needed?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

you need Git 2.20.0+ (as latest supported by documentation - https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/supported-platforms-776640981.html)

Here you can find GIT installer for Windows
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.20.0.windows.1/Git-2.20.0-64-bit.exe

After installation of Git you could continue with Bitbucket upgrade.

Hope it help.

I just installed git 2.21.0 and reran the 6.1.2 bitbucket installer, and it stops at the page titled 'unsatisfied requirement:git.'

"unsupported Git version found [2.21.0]. please upgrade Git to a supported version...."

[Greg Gesualdi]

There is an option to 'Ignore' and continue with the install

As I wrote and is in documentation - you need 2.20.0+, not 2.21.0+

That's reason why I insert link directly for 2.20.0 for you. :-)
