How to Use GitLab
1

I am trying to upgrade my GitLab from 12.9.2 to 13.1.4 by below command

#sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create STRATEGY=copy
#sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce

Now I am getting below error. Plz, help me what can I do?

It tells you what to do.

Try doing as you’re told and upgrade to the latest 13.0.x (which is 13.0.10) first. In case you’re not familiar with apt, the command for doing so is apt install gitlab-ce=13.0.10-ce.0
