Update Command

Updates the CLI to the latest version from npm.

Usage​

writechoice update

How It Works​

  1. Checks npm for the latest published version
  2. Compares it with your currently installed version
  3. If a newer version is available, installs it globally
  4. Displays the new version number

Examples​

$ writechoice update
Checking for updates...

Update available: 0.0.7 → 0.0.8

Updating @writechoice/mint-cli...

✓ Successfully updated to version 0.0.8

Already up to date:

$ writechoice update
Checking for updates...
✓ You're already on the latest version (0.0.8)

Automatic Update Notifications​

When you run any command, the CLI automatically checks for updates in the background and shows a notice if a newer version is available:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Update available: 0.0.7 → 0.0.8               │
│  Run: writechoice update                        │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Manual Update (Alternative)​

npm install -g @writechoice/mint-cli@latest

Troubleshooting​

Permission errors on Linux/macOS:

sudo npm install -g @writechoice/mint-cli@latest

Or use nvm to avoid needing sudo.

Check available versions:

npm view @writechoice/mint-cli versions
