Upgrade Tool 4.x under Windows not working

Need Help

Dear cake eaters,

I have a problem migrating/upgrading from cakePHP 3.10.5 to 4.0, because the file_rename action causes an error, which I don’t understand. The operation must be run in a work tree… What is a work tree or how to run the operation there, what is my error with the command?

Okay, I found out that this has something to do with the “git mv” command in the FileRenameCommand.php. SInce I am no expert with git I don’t know what a working tree is and also don’t understand the things I quickly googled, so I uncommented the if($this->git) sections in the php and then run the command again.

I know it is not very good, because git showing much new file changes, but I want to migrated the thing and not struggle with git…

4.0 Upgrade Guide - 4.x Have you checked the warning in this part of the documentation?

Is your project folder a git repository? Apparently that’s the problem.
