## Upgrading Gitblit GO (1.2.1+) 1. Unzip Gitblit GO to a new folder 2. Set the *--baseFolder* argument to point to your old `data` folder 3. Review and optionally apply any new settings as indicated in the [release log](releases.html) to `data/gitblit.properties`. In *nix systems or Windows Vista/7/8, there are other tricks you can play like symlinking the `data` folder or symlinking the GO folder. All platforms support the *--baseFolder* command-line argument. ## Upgrading Gitblit GO (pre-1.2.1) 1. Create a `data` folder and copy the following files and folders to it: - **users.conf** - **projects.conf** *(if you have one)* - **gitblit.properties** - **serverKeystore.jks** - **serverTrustStore.jks** - **certs** folder - **git** folder - **groovy** folder - **proposals** folder - and any other custom files (robots.txt, welcome/login markdown files, etc) - then edit your `gitblit.properties` file and adjust the following settings: - *git.repositoriesFolder* = ${baseFolder}/git - *groovy.scriptsFolder* = ${baseFolder}/groovy - *groovy.grapeFolder* = ${baseFolder}/groovy/grape - *web.projectsFile* = ${baseFolder}/projects.conf - *realm.userService* = ${baseFolder}/users.conf - *web.robots.txt* = ${baseFolder}/robots.txt - *federation.proposalsFolder* = ${baseFolder}/proposals - *realm.ldap.backingUserService* = ${baseFolder}/users.conf - *realm.redmine.backingUserService* = ${baseFolder}/users.conf - *server.tempFolder* = ${baseFolder}/temp 2. Unzip Gitblit GO to a new folder 3. Copy your `data` folder and overwrite the folder of the same name in the just-unzipped version 4. Review and optionally apply any new settings as indicated in the [release log](releases.html) to `data/gitblit.properties`. **NOTE:** You may need to adjust your service definitions to include the `--baseFolder data` argument. #### Upgrading Windows Service You may need to delete your old service definition and install a new one depending on what has changed in the release.
