How to update Odoo files from Github?

Question

Hello there,

When I have installed Odoo, I used this command :

*git clone https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 8.0 --single-branch .*

Now, I want to update my files on the server, to be sure to have the last version.

Do I execute the same command? Does Github use an other command when updating rather than installing?

Thanks

Here is my solution. Hope it is ok for everybody.

1) Open a terminal

2) Log into my odoo system user with : *sudo su - odoo -s /bin/bash*

3) Verify my git status with : *git status*

4) Update the files with only : *git pull*

5) Now, I have to create my identity with these commands. It was not created yet.

*git config user.name "Utilisateur systeme Odoo"*

and

*git config user.email "info@lapagept.com"*

6) Save local modifications with :  *git stash save --keep-index*

7) Retry *git pul

I used above answer, but i failed, because the git problem, i hope some one can write a detial step as i believe many people install odoo like that way. me too . now i am useing odoo12, i hope i can find a way to update to odoo13
I used a maybe a stupid way to update odoo 12 to odoo13
