Released on June 3, 2026, gogitup v0.2.0 is a focused update that brings better terminology and internal refinements to the tool. While it may seem like a small shift, it ensures that gogitup remains intuitive and aligned with the broader ecosystem of developer tools.

What’s new

The headline change in this release is the renaming of the update command to upgrade. From this version forward, you will use gogitup upgrade to bring your Go binaries up to date.

Along with this change, we have:

  • Updated all project documentation to reflect the new command.
  • Refined the internal codebase using modern Go idioms for better maintainability.
  • Enhanced our security posture by updating the CodeQL scanning actions.

Why it matters

In the world of CLI tools, “update” can be ambiguous—it could mean updating a configuration, a database, or a dependency. “Upgrade,” however, specifically denotes the act of replacing an older version of a software package with a newer one. By renaming the command, we are removing ambiguity and making the tool’s intent crystal clear.

While the internal maintenance updates aren’t visible in your daily usage, they ensure that gogitup stays fast, secure, and compatible with the latest Go standards, providing a more stable foundation for your workflow.

Getting started with v0.2.0

To start using the new upgrade command, simply update gogitup to the latest version.

Important Note for Power Users: If you have any shell aliases or automation scripts that rely on gogitup update, you will need to update them to use gogitup upgrade to avoid command-not-found errors.

We encourage all users to check out the latest documentation on our GitHub repository to see the updated usage examples.
