SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects install type (global git, local git, vendored) and upgrades accordingly.
  • Syncs local vendored copies after upgrade and provides rollback guidance if setup fails.
  • Shows what's new by summarizing CHANGELOG.md from the upgraded install.

Use cases include administrators upgrading in CI pipelines, developers upgrading in local environments, and teams that maintain vendored copies to stay in sync with primary installs.

Quick Start
