Updating ailoud

ailoud self update

self update asks the registry itself, so nothing has to be run before it. It installs the newer version if there is one, then refreshes the rules block in every registered project and the shell completions wherever they are already installed.

ailoud self check          # only look, change nothing
ailoud self check --json   # the same answer, for a script
ailoud self sync           # refresh the rules and completions without updating

self check is for looking without installing; self update does not need it.

What counts as newer

You are on	Can move to
a final release	any newer final release
X.Y.Z-dev.N	a newer dev of the same X.Y.Z, or any newer final
X.Y.Z-rc.N	a newer rc of the same X.Y.Z, or any newer final

A deprecated version is never offered.

Turning off the passive notice

Other commands mention an update at most once a day. self check and self update themselves are unaffected by either switch.

export AILOUD_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1

update:
  check: false
