kite update

Check for and install the latest version of starkite. Downloads the latest GitHub release and replaces the current binary. Any installed edition binaries (kitecloud, kiteai) are also updated to the same version.

Usage

kite update [--check | --force]

Flags

Flag	Description
--check	Check for updates without installing. Prints the available version and exits
--force	Force update even if the current version matches or the current binary is a dev build

Behavior

• Refuses to update a dev build unless --force is passed.
• Reports current and latest versions.
• Updates the current binary first, then every installed edition binary in turn.
• On partial failure (e.g., one edition fails to update), continues with the rest and reports warnings.
