Then restart the `skills` service.

Happy to, do I need to worry about that skill being listed in some file somewhere that will confuse msm?

Perfect! So problem is when mycroft initialize and before pulling configuration from mycroft.ai. Last time it returned None, for you it return empty string. I will prepare fix when I get home and send it here for test.

So uh…will it not be helpful for me to also post my skills.log output?
You know what they say about the guy who’s two steps behind…he has…a lot of catching up to do. This is fun though, usually I’m the fastest guy in the room when I do my sort of programming. 😛

It does.

If you managed to install it, post it also. For me its allways better to have more feedback.

Oh, I’m aware of the remove option, but there’s no way to force removal of a given instance if there are identically-named skills, which apparently happened.
[Edit] Obviously, in normal circumstances, it _shouldn’t_ happen at all.

It hapened to me, too. But I cannot remember what I did to overcome it.

I did, yes. It didn’t seem to really do anything, just printed a message that it switched to that branch.
```auto
(.venv) pi@picroft:/opt/mycroft/skills/skill-homeassistant.tony763 $ git checkout patch-8
Already on 'patch-8'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/patch-8'.
(.venv) pi@picroft:/opt/mycroft/skills/skill-homeassistant.tony763 $
```
Do I need to make it update itself after I do this?

After this just restart mycroft. Then it should start up. and print debug messages.

I cleared skills.log so I could find things easier. Here seem to be the relevant bits:
