nself upgrade

nself upgrade

Upgrade the ɳSelf CLI (detects install method).

Synopsis

nself upgrade [flags]

Description

nself upgrade upgrades the CLI binary. It detects the install method (Homebrew, direct download, or system package manager) and applies the appropriate strategy: Homebrew users get a brew upgrade instruction (or the canary tap for the canary channel), system-package users are pointed at their package manager, and direct-install users get an in-place binary swap with rollback support.

Use --check to inspect current version, install method, and channel without installing. Use --channel to switch between stable and canary; the choice is persisted in ~/.config/nself. Use --version 1.2.3 to pin a specific release. Use --rollback to restore the previously installed binary from ~/.nself/bin/�P1�.

Before swapping the binary, the command warns about installed Pro plugins that may be incompatible with the new version. After a successful upgrade, the previous binary is preserved for one-shot rollback.
