upgrade

Upgrade chezmoi by downloading and installing the latest released version. This will call the GitHub API to determine if there is a new version of chezmoi available, and if so, download and attempt to install it in the same way as chezmoi was previously installed.

If the any of the $CHEZMOI_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN, $CHEZMOI_GITHUB_TOKEN, $GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN, or $GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables are set, then the first value found will be used to authenticate requests to the GitHub API, otherwise unauthenticated requests are used which are subject to stricter rate limiting. Unauthenticated requests should be sufficient for most cases.

Warning

If you installed chezmoi using a package manager, the upgrade command might have been removed by the package maintainer.
