DO-RELEASE-UPGRADE(8)

💖 DO-RELEASE-UPGRADE(8) 💖

do-release-upgrade is the manual page for this command, and bestie, it's giving upgrade energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

do-release-upgrade — upgrade your operating system to the latest release 🚀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

do-release-upgrade [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this command upgrades your OS to the newest release, straight from the command line 💅 It's the move if your machine has no graphical environment, or if you're upgrading over a remote connection. Lowkey the only way to go in those situations 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — shows the help message and exits 🙈
• -V, --version — shows the version and exits ✨
• -d, --devel-release — if you're on the latest supported release, this upgrades you to the development release 🧪
• --data-dir=DATA_DIR — the directory that holds the data files 📂
• -p, --proposed — tries the upgrade to the latest release using the upgrader from Ubuntu-proposed 🦋
• -f FRONTEND, --frontend=FRONTEND — runs the frontend you specify 🎬
• -c, --check-dist-upgrade-only — only checks whether a new distribution release is available, and reports the result through the exit code 🔍
• --allow-third-party — tries the upgrade with third party mirrors and repositories still enabled, instead of commenting them out 🌈
• -q, --quiet — the page doesn't say much about this one, so just vibe with it 🤷‍♀️
• -e ENV, --env=ENV — a comma-separated list of environment variables (like VAR1=VALUE1,VAR2=VALUE2) that get set during the upgrade 🧚

⚠️ bestie, the -c flag is a check-only run. It reports through the exit code, so don't expect a fancy message. 💀
