lizard upgrade

Upgrade the CLI to the latest version.

Usage

lizard upgrade [flags]

How it upgrades depends on how you installed the CLI:

Install script on macOS or Linux: downloads the latest release and replaces the binary.
npm: runs npm install -g @lizard-build/cli@<version> for you. If npm fails, for example because it lacks write access to the global folder, the CLI prints npm install -g @lizard-build/cli@latest for you to run with the rights npm needs.
Windows: the binary can’t replace itself. Run the installer again: irm https://lizard.build/api/cli/install.ps1 | iex.

The binary from the install script on macOS and Linux also updates itself in the background: only in an interactive terminal, at most once every 6 hours, and never when CI or LIZARD_NO_UPDATE is set. The next command then prints lizard auto-updated: v<old> → v<new>. npm installs and the Windows binary do not update in the background.
