Live Help

Update the Bullpen binary and installed AI skills.

Homebrew and npm installs delegate to their package manager first. Direct installs use GitHub releases; set BULLPEN_GITHUB_TOKEN to a Personal Access Token (no scopes needed) to raise GitHub's anonymous rate limit.

Usage: bullpen upgrade [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --no-skill-update
          Skip auto-updating installed AI agent skill files after upgrade

      --output <OUTPUT>
          Output format for command results

          [possible values: table, json]

      --env <ENV>
          Target environment to connect to (overrides config.toml)

          [env: BULLPEN_ENV=]
          [possible values: staging, production]

      --yes
          Accepted for consistency with other mutating commands.

          `upgrade` does not currently prompt for confirmation — the runtime gate is the existing root-level `--non-interactive` flag — so `--yes` is a no-op today. Reserved for future prompt-gated upgrade flows.

      --config <CONFIG>
          Path to a custom config.toml file (overrides $BULLPEN_CONFIG and the default location).

          Explicit --config and BULLPEN_CONFIG paths fail closed: if the file is missing, the CLI exits validation instead of silently loading defaults. Credentials still resolve via BULLPEN_HOME, so set BULLPEN_HOME too when isolating a session.

      --read-only
          Enable read-only mode: blocks all mutating commands

      --non-interactive
          Suppress interactive prompts; does NOT imply --yes for money-moving commands

          [env: BULLPEN_NON_INTERACTIVE=]

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')
