Overview ¶

Package selfupdate answers one question — is a newer release published? — with one GitHub API call a day, cached on disk. It never fails loudly: update notice is a courtesy, not a feature the tool depends on.

var APIBase = "https://api.github.com/repos/midagedev/gadak"

APIBase is the GitHub API origin + repo path for release lookups. Tests replace it with an httptest server URL.

Functions ¶

func Newer ¶

func Newer(current, latest string) bool

Newer reports whether latest > current, comparing dotted numeric parts. Pre-release/dev suffixes are not newer than anything.

Types ¶

type Info ¶

type Info struct {
	Latest    string `json:"latest"`     // tag without leading v, e.g. "0.3.1"
	URL       string `json:"url"`        // release html_url
	CheckedAt string `json:"checked_at"` // RFC3339 UTC
}

Info is the cached answer.

func Check ¶

func Check(ctx context.Context, cacheDir, current string, enabled bool) (Info, bool)

Check returns the latest release info, from cache when fresh (<24h), else from GitHub. current=="0.0.0-dev" or cfg opt-out → ("", ok=false) without any network. Any error → ok=false, silently.
