Synopsis

ody update [--check]

Flags

Flag	Alias	Type	Default	Description
`--check`	`-c`	`boolean`	`false`	Only check whether an update is available, don't install

Behavior

Default update flow

Without flags, ody update performs a full check-and-install cycle:

Queries the GitHub Releases API for the latest published version.
Compares the latest version against the currently installed version.
If a newer version is available, downloads and runs the install script to replace the binary.
Reports the version transition (e.g., v1.0.0 → v1.1.0) and confirms the update.

Check-only mode

With --check, the command stops after the version comparison and does not download anything. If an update is available, it prints the new version and suggests running ody update to install it:

Run `ody update` to install v1.1.0

Already up to date

If the installed version matches the latest release, the command prints a success message and exits without taking further action:

Already up to date (v1.0.0)

If the GitHub Releases API is unreachable or returns an error, the command logs the error and exits with a non-zero exit code. If the install script fails during the update, the error output is displayed and the command exits.

Examples

Check for and install the latest version:

ody update

Check whether an update is available without installing:

ody update --check

Sample output when an update is available (check-only):

◇  Finished checking for updates
●  New version available: v1.0.0 → v1.1.0
◆  Run `ody update` to install v1.1.0

Sample output when already up to date:

◇  Finished checking for updates
◇  Already up to date (v1.1.0)
◆  No update needed
