CLI Reference

scut update

Update release-installed scut binaries or print package-manager guidance.

scut update detects how the current binary appears to be installed and chooses the safest update path.

Script-installed release binaries, such as ~/.local/bin/scut, can be updated in place. The command downloads the matching GitHub Release tarball, verifies it against checksums.txt, and replaces the current executable.

Homebrew and source-managed installs are not overwritten. For those installs, scut update prints the package-manager or source-build command to run.

scut update --dry-run
scut update
scut update v0.3.4
scut update --target-version v0.3.4

--dry-run reports the current version, target version, binary path, detected install method, and planned action without changing files.
