glab-check-update1

Check for the latest glab version.

Usage

glab check-update [flags]

Overview

Checks for the latest version of glab available on GitLab.com.

When you run this command explicitly, glab always checks for updates, even if the previous check was less than 24 hours ago.

When glab runs this check automatically after other commands, it checks for updates at most once every 24 hours.

When you run this command, glab also reports updates for the GitLab Duo CLI and GitLab Orbit CLI binaries, if they are installed.

To turn off the automatic update check, run glab config set check_update false. To turn it back on, run glab config set check_update true.
