## Clone the Source
 
# Clone GitLab repository
sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git -b 6-5-stable gitlab
sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git -b 6-6-stable gitlab
 
# Go to gitlab dir
cd /home/git/gitlab
 
**Note:**
You can change `6-5-stable` to `master` if you want the *bleeding edge* version, but never install master on a production server!

### 0. Backup
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```
### 1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
### 2. Get latest code
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
```
For Gitlab Community Edition:
```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-6-stable
```
OR
For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-6-stable-ee
```
### 3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.8.0
```
### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
# Update init.d script
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
```
### 5. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
### 6. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade is complete!
## Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.5)
### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the [`upgrade guide from 6.4 to 6.5`](6.4-to-6.5.md), except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
### 2. Restore from the backup:
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
If you have more than one backup *.tar file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
