Update Splice | Splice documentation

Check the latest release without a file change:

splice update --check

Install the latest release:

splice update --apply

splice upgrade is the short form for the install operation:

splice upgrade

The install path downloads the matching archive, verifies its SHA-256 digest, and replaces the installed release files.

Check options

splice update --check --json
splice update --check --repo Taf0711/splice
splice update --check --target windows-x64

Flag	Purpose
`--json`	Print a machine-readable result.
`--repo <owner/repo>`	Select another release repository.
`--endpoint <url\|owner/repo>`	Select a release API URL or repository.
`--timeout <duration>`	Set the release request timeout.
`--target <platform-arch>`	Check assets for another release target.

--target works only with --check. It does not install a foreign-platform binary.

Supported target names are:

linux-x64
linux-arm64
macos-x64
macos-arm64
windows-x64
windows-arm64

A successful check returns exit code 0, even when a newer release exists. A check error returns a nonzero code.

Splice selects release metadata in this order:

Use a custom endpoint only when you trust its archive and checksum source.

Set SPLICE_DISABLE_UPDATE_NOTICE=1 to hide the automatic notice. Manual update commands remain available.

Set SPLICE_DISABLE_UPDATES=1 to disable update checks and install commands for the process.

Splice detects an npm-managed installation. In that case, splice upgrade runs the global npm update for @taf0711/splice@latest.

For an install-script or archive layout, Splice downloads, verifies, and replaces the release files directly.

You can also update an npm package yourself:

npm install -g @taf0711/splice@latest

For a source build, update the checkout and rebuild:

git pull
go build -o splice ./cmd/splice
