The git fsck failing showed a corrupt repository so I researched how to repair a git repository and found the tool git-repair - installed and ran this with the --force flag and this repaired the repository.
Then ran git pull and the repository was now healthy. My web UI also works now!!
Probably a silly feature request but would it be worthwhile to add a git fsck to all the pihole stores in the debug script?
To start you should go to your web admin folder at /var/www/html/admin and run a git fsck to make sure you’re having the same problem as the person above. If you get a lot of failures, its likely the same issue.
So based on this resolved thread, it looks like you need to install git-repair and then once again go to your pihole web admin interface folder at /var/www/html/admin.
Then once in that folder run git-repair --force and then when that completes run git pull. Hopefully that resolves this issue for you.

git fsck, so I have to keep looking for other solutions.
