Self-Update

Pando can update itself by downloading the latest release from GitHub and replacing the running binary.

Usage 

# Update to latest stable release
pando update

# Check if a newer version exists (no change)
pando update --check

How It Works

  1. Queries GitHub API for the latest release from digiogithub/pando
  2. Matches your architecture (x64/arm64) and OS
  3. Downloads the zip archive and extracts the pando binary
  4. Atomically replaces the running executable
  5. Checks write permissions before attempting update

Background Update Check

On startup, Pando runs a background check (2-second timeout) and prints a notice to stderr if a newer version is available:

A newer version of Pando is available: v1.2.3 (current: v1.2.2)
Run 'pando update' to upgrade.

Notes

  • Requires write permissions to the pando binary location
  • Resolves symlinks before replacing
  • Safe to run while Pando is in use
  • Updates are pulled from the digiogithub/pando GitHub repository
Run pando update regularly to get the latest features and bug fixes. The update process is atomic—either the new binary is installed completely or the old one remains.
