✨ arduino-cli-upgrade — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL (section 1, obviously, that's the whole vibe) 💖 this is the glow-up page for arduino-cli-upgrade, and yes it's literally the manual name, we're just folding it in here so the header can be, like, aesthetic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

arduino-cli-upgrade — upgrades installed cores and libraries. that's it. that's the whole girl. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

arduino-cli upgrade [flags]

short, sweet, iconic. flags go where flags go. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Upgrades installed cores and libraries to latest version.

like. it takes your stuff and makes it the newest version of itself. main character energy for your toolchain honestly. no cap. 💅

🍓 OPTIONS 🍓

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for upgrade. the "bestie what do I even type" button 🫶
  • --run-post-install[=false] — Force run of post-install scripts (if the CLI is not running interactively).
  • --run-pre-uninstall[=false] — Force run of pre-uninstall scripts (if the CLI is not running interactively).
  • --skip-post-install[=false] — Force skip of post-install scripts (if the CLI is running interactively).
  • --skip-pre-uninstall[=false] — Force skip of pre-uninstall scripts (if the CLI is running interactively).
notice how the run ones are for when you're not interactive and the skip ones are for when you are? that's not a typo, that's the whole point. the CLI is basically reading the room. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these come from the parent command, so they're not really this page's, they just showed up with their luggage. still iconic though. 💜

  • --additional-urls=[] — Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager.
  • --config-dir="" — Sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for configuration file in this directory).
  • --config-file="" — The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used).
  • --json[=false] — Print the output in JSON format.
  • --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output.
  • --log-file="" — Path to the file where logs will be written.
  • --log-format="text" — The output format for the logs, can be: text, json
  • --log-level="info" — Messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic
  • --no-color[=false] — Disable colored output.
yes --log-level="info" is the default and yes info is in the list of valid levels. it contains itself. we love a self-consistent queen. 🌈
