💖 REPO(1) — the repo selfupdate glow-up guide 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the repo manual (that's section 1 of the manual pages, iykyk) — this one's all about repo selfupdate and honestly? it's giving "let the tool update itself, babe". 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

repo — repo selfupdate — manual page for repo selfupdate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

repo selfupdate

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no drama, just the command. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Summary 📝

Update repo to the latest version. slay. that's literally the entire point of this command. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. iconic behaviour fr fr, every command should be this polite. 🫶

🌸 Logging options:

  • -v, --verbose — show all output. every last crumb of it, no secrets. 👀
  • -q, --quiet — only show errors. main character energy but make it mysterious. shhh. 🤫

🌈 Multi-manifest options:

  • --outer-manifest — operate starting at the outermost manifest. start from the very outside, like peeling an onion but manifest-shaped. 🧅
  • --no-outer-manifest — do not operate on outer manifests. we're ignoring the outer layer, periodt.
  • --this-manifest-only — only operate on this (sub)manifest. just this one. nobody else invited. 💅
  • --no-this-manifest-only, --all-manifests — operate on this manifest and its submanifests. the whole squad, everybody included, no one left behind. 🫂

💜 repo Version options:

  • --no-repo-verify — do not verify repo source code. bestie, this is the "skip the vibe check" option and it's lowkey dangerous, so proceed with your whole chest only if you know what you're doing. 😭
Run repo help selfupdate to view the detailed manual. like, the actually detailed one. this is the short version, this one right here. 💖

✨ DETAILS ✨

The repo selfupdate command upgrades repo to the latest version, if a newer version is available. only if there's a newer one though — no downgrades, no side quests. ✨

Normally this is done automatically by repo sync and does not need to be performed by an end-user. so like... you usually don't have to do anything. repo sync handles it behind the scenes, silently, like a good friend who refills your water bottle without saying anything. 😌

⚠️ heads up: repo sync already runs this for you, so running repo selfupdate yourself is usually unnecessary. it's not harmful, just extra. not me doing work that was already done 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. go forth and let repo update itself. 🌟

— with love, from the repo selfupdate manual page, dated July 2022 (yeah, it's a little vintage, it still ate) 💖✨🎀🦋
