rimba update

Check for the latest release on GitHub and update the binary in place. If the binary cannot be replaced due to file permissions, rimba installs to ~/.local/bin instead.

Synopsis

rimba update [flags]

Examples

rimba update             # Check and update to latest
rimba update --force     # Also works on dev builds

Common workflows

Check and apply update

rimba update
# Compares current version against latest GitHub release
# Downloads and replaces binary if newer version found

Update a dev build

rimba update --force
# Dev builds are otherwise skipped (version string differs from release tags)

After a successful update, rimba prints a one-line tip if agent files are installed at user level (rimba init -g to refresh) or in this repo (rimba init --agents to refresh). Set RIMBA_QUIET=1 to suppress.

If the binary cannot be replaced due to file permissions, rimba installs to ~/.local/bin instead.
