From 6.3 to 6.4
0. Backup

  
    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

  
    cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-4-stable
# For GitLab Enterprise Edition: sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-4-stable-ee

  
3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)

  
    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.

  
    cd /home/git/gitlab

# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

# PostgreSQL
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 complete!
Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.3)
1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the <code>upgrade guide from 6.2 to 6.3</code>, except for the database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).
2. Restore from the backup:

  
    cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
