From 38b8775b56ca0175fdbe5162840bf2395cd27073 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yorick Peterse Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 15:16:15 +0100 Subject: Remove usage of 11-7-stable for source installs The use of the branch 11-7-stable meant release managers would have to update this file every month, which is tedious and easy to overlook. To work around this, we simply use a placeholder and make it clear that the reader needs to replace this with the appropriate branch. --- doc/install/installation.md | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/install/installation.md') diff --git a/doc/install/installation.md b/doc/install/installation.md index 1f65e3415d1..b9a96a54bb8 100644 --- a/doc/install/installation.md +++ b/doc/install/installation.md @@ -345,11 +345,15 @@ cd /home/git ```sh # Clone GitLab repository -sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git -b 11-7-stable gitlab +sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git -b X-Y-stable gitlab ``` +Make sure to replace `X-Y-stable` with the stable branch that matches the +version you want to install.
