What it does

keel upgrade detects how Keel was installed and runs the appropriate update command:

Installation source	Command executed
Homebrew	brew upgrade keel
go install	go install github.com/slice-soft/keel@latest
Unknown	Prints manual update instructions

The detection is automatic — you don’t need to specify the source.

---

Examples

Upgrade via Homebrew:

keel upgrade
# runs: brew upgrade keel

Upgrade via go install:

keel upgrade
# runs: go install github.com/slice-soft/keel@latest

---

Update notifications

When running any other keel command, the CLI checks for a newer version in the background. If a newer version is available, it prints a notice after the command completes:

  💡 New version available: v1.19.0 (current: v1.18.0)
     Run: keel upgrade

This background check does not slow down the command being run.

---

Manual update

If keel upgrade cannot detect the installation source, follow the manual instructions shown in the output. Alternatively:

# Homebrew
brew upgrade keel

# go install
go install github.com/slice-soft/keel@latest

---

Version command

To check the current installed version before upgrading:

keel version

Output includes: version, commit hash, build date, Go version, OS/arch, and installation source.
