# carapace-selfupdate

Simple self-update mechanism to install nightly/stable releases.

[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/692857.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/692857)

Executable is installed to the [GOBIN] directory, essentially shadowing any system installation.

```sh

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"

#            │                │            └system installation (e.g. /usr/bin/carapace)

#            │                └selfupdate/go based installation ($GOBIN)

#            └user binaries

```

## Requirements
