I agree with Bill.
Trunktracker, you have been given a heap of free support and help here. Common courtesy says that you can at least respond to Bill's private direct messages (In which I know that Bill is simply offering to help you) and that being part of a online community (even more so with free software projects) says that you should at least identify yourself.
People that refuse to identify themselves usually have something to hide - is that the case here? Why are you reluctant to even post some basic information about yourself?
Also - many of your posts are completely off topic and are unrelated to OP25 itself - things like general linux support and learning git do not belong in here.
Consider this a friendly request to improve your etiquette, please.
Regards, Matt

Trunktracker,
It’s customary for people to sign (identify) their messages when posting to reflectors such as op25-dev. I am still
willing to walk you through some of this including the git pull if you want to give me a call. You should still have
my email address and phone number from previous posting and private email..
Bill, WA8WG

*Well, if I just run "git pull" in the terminal, it gives an error message and not sure what this means:*

*And, would you know how I go about installing the new version that lets you type in a talk group ID to hold on? If I install that version, will it overwrite or delete anything with the current version I have?*

*What's a "repo"? I use the "boatbod" version now. So if I run those commands to update it, will it overwrite the current version I have now? And will it overwrite/delete any .tsv or .sh files that I've created? If it installs to the same directory, how can I copy the config files to the "other" version?*
*Thanks.*

Well that depends on your viewpoint...
My codebase was derived from osmocom max branch about a year ago, so strictly speaking it is a "fork", but it's also the production version which I maintain and enhance.
If you are already using the boatbod version of op25, the simple way to pull the updates is to run a "git pull" command from anywhere inside the ~/op25 directory hierarchy. If you're on the osmocom or dseven versions, you'll probably be best off to clone a completely separate version from my repo much as if you were installing from scratch.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/boatbod/op25 ~/op25.boatbod
cd ~/op25.boatbod
./install.sh
(Once installed you can copy your config files over from the other version)
