Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.8

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

As per https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/installation/upgrading/, Option B: Check Out a Git Release: => Current version is v4.3.3

Next step: cd /opt/netbox && sudo git fetch && sudo git checkout v4.3.3 => error: pathspec 'v4.3.3' did not match any file(s) known to git

(on Ubuntu 22.04LTS, git v2.34.1)

Expected Behavior

Observed Behavior

Solution: git fetch needs --tags

Fix is simple: https://github.com/dieck/netbox/commit/5efade4a81bdfad55a7b57732089b52ef751a6b0 (but policy does not allow me to pull request until this issue is accepted and assigned)

Hi! If you need me to, I can do that. If you have a simplier way of adding those 7 chars (including space ;)), feel free to do so :)

Sorry, must have missed this, if I come upon something else, I will try to remember!
