Update Commands

[xTrackstar04x]

Can you put what commands need to be run to update the NFL scoreboard in the readme?

Hey, so if you're talking about the rotating game feature, it's not in the main branch yet as it's still in testing, but I can post here how to run off that test branch:

1. run git stash in the directory where you have the NFL scoreboard running
2. run git fetch
3. run git checkout f/rotate-games
4. run cp config.json.example config.json
5. run nano config.json
6. edit in your favourite team(s) in the preferred teams field
7. run the board as normal with sudo python main.py and whatever args you use after

also, if things are breaking, periodically try running git pull to see if I've fixed them because things will almost certainly be breaking.

this is what I am getting when I run git stash and git fetch

pi@raspberrypi:~/nfl-led-scoreboard $ git stash
No local changes to save
pi@raspberrypi:~/nfl-led-scoreboard $ git fetch
error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied

[mikemountain]

Running sudo chown -R $(whoami) .git/ should fix that, try that and re-run git fetch

[xTrackstar04x]

That worked! Thanks.

When I ran git fetch it came back with 3 new branches. Should I also run git checkout on the other 2 branches?

 820e343..8f324fa  master             -> origin/master
 * [new branch]      b/fix-pre-post-game-transition-states -> origin/b/fix-pre-post-game-transition-states
 * [new branch]      b/show-game-hotfix -> origin/b/show-game-hotfix
 * [new branch]      f/rotate-games     -> origin/f/rotate-games
pi@raspberrypi:~/nfl-led-scoreboard $ git checkout f/rotate-games

[mikemountain]

Nope, running git checkout essentially switches all the files to a certain state. So the files in f/rotate-games won't match the files in master. Just as a heads up, there are still a decent amount of bugs in the f/rotate-games branch, so expect things to fail tomorrow - and if they do fail, wait about 10 mins and try running git pull to see if I've pushed an update

[xTrackstar04x]

10-4. I'll let you know if I find anything as well

The board is not rotating for me. Any ideas?

[mikemountain]

Can you post your config?

Any reason I would get an error when trying to run git fetch?

@WashCaps33 I can't help without any info on what error you're getting, but since this is an experimental branch that's still likely to run into bugs, hold off until I merge it into the main code (should be tomorrow) and then we'll go from there

[WashCaps33]

Got it. Thanks.
