archgate upgrade

Upgrade Archgate to the latest version.

archgate upgrade

Checks GitHub Releases for the latest published version. If a newer version is available, the command auto-detects how Archgate was installed and runs the appropriate upgrade strategy. If already up-to-date, prints a message and exits.

Install method detection

The upgrade command inspects the running binary path to determine the install method, then delegates to the matching strategy:

Install method	Detection	Upgrade action
Binary install (~/.archgate/bin/)	Binary lives inside ~/.archgate/bin/	Downloads the latest binary from GitHub Releases and replaces the existing one
Proto	Binary lives inside ~/.proto/tools/archgate/	Runs proto install archgate latest --pin
Local dev dependency	Binary lives inside node_modules/	Detects the package manager from the nearest lockfile (bun, pnpm, yarn, or npm) and runs the appropriate add command (e.g. bun add -d archgate@latest)
Global package manager	Binary lives in a global bin directory	Detects which package manager owns the global bin directory and runs its upgrade command (e.g. npm install -g archgate@latest)

If no specific method is detected, the command falls back to npm install -g archgate@latest.
