Updating dbdeployer

[HOME]

Starting with version 1.36.0, dbdeployer is able to update itself by getting the newest release from GitHub.

The quickest way of doing it is by running

$ dbdeployer update

This command will download the latest release of dbdeployer from GitHub, and, if the version of the release is higher than the local one, will overwrite the dbdeployer executable.

You can get more information during the operation by using the --verbose option. Other options are available for advanced users.

$ dbdeployer update -h

$ dbdeployer update v1.34.0 --force-old-version
