Proposed Changes

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/compare/main...larsen0815:netbox:patch-2

Some minor changes:

  • Fix typo
  • As the version number is already automatically fetched from the repository, use this in a variable to more easily install that version
  • Explicitly change the directory so the user doesn't have to do this manually (any users not using the default installation directory should notice and adapt accordingly)
  • Use "git fetch" to prevent error: pathspec 'v4.3.1' did not match any file(s) known to git. This seems to be a common problem (1, 2, 3).

For simplicity, let's skip the assignment to $VERSION (let's avoid making the instructions too self-interdependent at the expense of clarity), but the other additional git commands are worth adding.
