Updating

cgen update

cgen update updates the installation that launched it:

• Cargo installations run cargo install auto-commit-rs --version <release> --locked --force.
• Release installations download the platform artifact and checksums.sha256, verify the SHA-256, then atomically replace (or, on Windows, schedule replacement of) that executable.

Automatic updates

On every run, cgen checks the latest GitHub release tag against the current version. The first time cgen runs, it asks whether to enable automatic updates and saves the preference to the global config (ACR_AUTO_UPDATE is global-only and never written to a project .env).

• ACR_AUTO_UPDATE=1: cgen updates itself automatically when a newer version is found.
• ACR_AUTO_UPDATE=0 (or unset after the prompt): a notice with the available version is shown at the end of the output instead.
