gx update detects how gx was installed and runs the appropriate update command.

​
Usage

gx update

​
Behavior

gx detects the installation method by inspecting the binary’s path:

​
Homebrew (auto-detected)

If the binary is inside a Homebrew Cellar or Linuxbrew path, gx runs brew upgrade gx-git directly: 
$ gx update
Current version: 2.0.1
Installed via Homebrew. Updating...

...brew output...

OK Updated via Homebrew. Run `gx --version` to verify.

​
Other install methods

If gx cannot detect Homebrew, it shows manual instructions: 
Current version: 2.0.1
> To update, reinstall via your package manager:
  Homebrew: brew upgrade gx-git
  pipx:    pipx upgrade gx-git
  go:      go install github.com/mubbie/gx-cli@latest

​
Homebrew Detection

gx resolves symlinks on the binary path and checks if it contains cellar, homebrew, or linuxbrew (case-insensitive). This covers standard Homebrew installations on both macOS and Linux.
If you installed via go install, updating is as simple as running the install command again: go install github.com/mubbie/gx-cli@latest
