README

gup

Golang binary updater!

gup takes a go binary and uses the symbol table in the executable to find out where its from and then updates it in case it is out of date.

Usage

gup [binary ...]

gup updates go binaries. It finds the go import path of the binary and does 'go get -u' and 'go install' for that path if found.

Notes

This is useful for small CLI tools that people make that may become out of date.

Uses code from goman.

I intend to update this almost never since it should just work.

Maybe a cool feature to add would be an import in your go executables that checks if it s out of date and lets you know to stderr.
