On March 1, 2026, we released gogitup v0.1.3, a small but meaningful improvement to how the tool presents update information. This release introduces cleaner default output for the update command, reducing noise and helping you focus on what actually changed.

What’s New

The v0.1.3 release adds a single user-facing feature: the --verbose flag for the gogitup update command.

Cleaner Output by Default

If you’ve been using gogitup to keep your Go-installed binaries up to date, you may have noticed that running gogitup update previously showed every tracked binary—both those that were updated and those that were already at their latest version. While informative, this could produce quite a bit of output when you only cared about what changed.

In v0.1.3, the default behavior now shows only binaries that were actually updated. This means less clutter in your terminal and a clearer view of what work was done.

Need the Full Picture? Use --verbose

If you prefer seeing all tracked binaries—including those already up to date—just add the --verbose flag:

gogitup update --verbose

This gives you the previous behavior on demand, without making the default output more verbose than necessary.

Why It Matters

This improvement might seem small, but it addresses a common usability concern: signal vs. noise. When you’re managing many Go tools, seeing dozens of “already up to date” messages can bury the important information—your actual updates.

By surfacing only what changed by default, v0.1.3 helps you:

  • See update results at a glance
  • Reduce terminal clutter during routine maintenance
  • Focus on binaries that actually needed attention

The --verbose option ensures power users who want detailed feedback can still get it when needed.

Upgrade Considerations

This release is fully backward compatible:

  • No configuration changes required – Your ~/.gogitup config file works as before
  • No breaking changes – All existing functionality remains intact
  • Easy upgrade – Simply replace your binary with the v0.1.3 version for your platform
