Update your Moodle with only 5 Commands

Every week, the latest Moodle code is pushed to the GIT repository. Using GIT, it's simple to update your Moodle to the latest code.

The 5 Commands

① cd /path/to/your/moodle
③ git pull

Note that here I'm updating to the latest weekly build. But this will also work for minor releases (eg. 3.11.1 → 3.11.2).

Hi. Thank you very much for your instructions. Could you please add some instructions for upgrading moodle on docker with docker-compose and nginx?

I am still a newbie on Moodle, may I know how to back up my site? Like, can someone explain it to me thoroughly. Thanks in advance! Great video, btw!

what if before moodle was updated manually (by changing index.php file) and now when I try to git pull I have an error - not a git repository. What can I do in this situation? thank you beforehand

Hi there, I have an error log when I try to upgrade, actually I have moved to new server and it does not work with the latest PHP version, so I needed to upgrade. any solution on this one ?

Hi, have 4 instances of Moodle running on Debian. I’ve taken this over from a customer site and have it on Esxi. I’m planning on duplicating the vm to have a copy site. And upgrade versions as some are running 3.4 and I’d like to bring them all up to date. Able to perhaps get in touch and assist with the copy site upgrade process. I’m in Australia also

No upgrade needed for the installed version 3.11.8 (Build: 20220711) (2021051708). Thanks for coming anyway!
