Avideo: Update to 9.1 received error

[willpower68]

I'm having an issue with updating to 9. 1. I received the following at putting in sudo git pull command

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
plugin/AVideoPlugin.php
plugin/PlayLists/PlayLists.php
plugin/Plugin.abstract.php
view/include/navbar.php
view/managerVideos_body.php
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

that means you have made changes on those files .
To over-write those files and update :
sudo git fetch --all && sudo git reset --hard origin/master

@akhilleusuggo
thank you for responding. should i right the commands exactly?

sudo git fetch --all && sudo git reset --hard origin/master

should this appear as one command then hit enter to execute the commands?

I am not sure about this error, maybe you can find a solution on google.

alternatively what you can do is,

1. clone it somewhere else, for example to the directory YouPHPTube_memoriachannel_new
2. move the videos directory from the to the YouPHPTube_memoriachannel to the new cloned directory YouPHPTube_memoriachannel_new
3. move the YouPHPTube_memoriachannel to YouPHPTube_memoriachannel_old
4. move the YouPHPTube_memoriachannel_new to YouPHPTube_memoriachannel

after that, you should have all brand new files, and also all your videos and database with the newest files.

OR, do what I did

Download a copy of each file that you modified.
Update and overwrite all the files.
Before each re-upload, rename the NEW FILE e.g., "navbar.php" can be "_navbar_.php" or whatever.
Re-upload each downloaded copy of the files one by one back to their respective directories.

You're welcome :)

@akhilleusuggo thanks for your help. I was able update my site. Thank you very much.

@DanielnetoDotCom do the update direction still apply? Is step 2 still required to complete update?
"2 - Download and Upload files
Use your favorite file transfer to download a master copy of AVideo and upload it to your site."
