About:
gup is a command-line utility designed to manage and update Go binaries installed via 'go install'. It checks for newer versions of installed packages and updates them in a single operation, eliminating the need to manually track and update each tool.
Key Features:
  • Automatically updates all or selected Go binaries
  • Checks for updates against the latest available versions
  • Simple CLI with intuitive commands
  • Supports version pinning and listing installed packages
Use Cases:
  • Keeping development tools like 'golangci-lint' or 'staticcheck' up to date
  • Managing a curated set of CLI utilities installed via 'go install'
  • Automating Go toolchain maintenance in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • go install – Manual per-package updates; lacks batch update functionality
  • gobrew – Focuses on Go version management rather than binary updates
