Please paste the result of running:

$ cd /opt/librenms/
$ git version
$ git show -q --pretty="%H|%ct"
$ git show -s --pretty="%H|%ct"

[Remshtein]

[root@XXX librenms]# git version
git version 1.8.3.1

[root@XXX librenms]# git show -q --pretty="%H|%ct"
fatal: unrecognized argument: -q

[root@XXX librenms]# git show -s --pretty="%H|%ct"

I see, we didn’t except people running 9 year old git clients, but centos7 strikes again I suppose

does git show --no-patch --pretty="%H|%ct" work?

[Ervin_Skendaj]

this is how i fixed it:
i had the following:
git --version 1.8.3.1

yum -y remove git
yum -y remove git-*

in my case it is a CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

yum -y install https://packages.endpointdev.com/rhel/7/os/x86_64/endpoint-repo.x86_64.rpm

yum install git -y

git --version
git version 2.36.0

now if if i run those commands there is no more the issue of : fatal: unrecognized argument: -q

as following:

git version 2.36.0
bash-4.2$ git show -q --pretty="%H|%ct"
1056f28de7b32713903f412084a78deb80d6b381|1655353797
bash-4.2$ git show -s --pretty="%H|%ct"
1056f28de7b32713903f412084a78deb80d6b381|1655353797
