watchfire update

Self-update Watchfire by downloading the latest release from GitHub.

Usage

watchfire update

Description

watchfire update checks for and installs the latest version of Watchfire. It queries the GitHub Releases API, downloads architecture-specific binaries, and replaces the current installation.

What It Does

1. Queries the GitHub Releases API for the latest version
2. Downloads architecture-specific binaries (CLI and daemon)
3. Stops the daemon if it's currently running
4. Atomically replaces the CLI (watchfire) and daemon (watchfired) binaries
5. Restarts the daemon

Notes

• Requires network access to reach GitHub Releases
• The daemon is automatically stopped and restarted during the update
• Both the CLI and daemon binaries are updated together
• The GUI application updates separately via its built-in electron-updater

Examples

# Update to the latest version
