 # From 5.1 to 5.2
 
+### 0. Backup
+
+It's useful to make a backup just in case things go south:
+(With MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES" privileges to the GitLab user on the database version)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create
+```
+
 ### 1. Stop server
 
     sudo service gitlab stop

+### 5. Update config files
+
+* Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` same as https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-2-stable/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings.

+### 6. Update Init script
+
+```bash
+sudo rm /etc/init.d/gitlab
+sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/5-2-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab
+sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
+```
+
+### 6. Start application
 
     sudo service gitlab start
+    sudo service nginx restart
+
+### 7. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (5.1)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+Follow the [`upgrade guide from 5.0 to 5.1`](5.0-to-5.1.md), except for the database migration 
+(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
+
+### 2. Restore from the backup:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore
+```
