THE BEST COMMAND LINE TOOLS INCLUDE SELF-UPDATING FUNCTIONALITY
Old versions of your CLI don't have the shiny new features your customers want. With usrbin, you can add in-place upgrades in just a few minutes.
Usrbin is the quickest way to add self-updating functionality to our CLI. I've been meaning to add this for a while, but it's just been hard to find the time to get this done well.

Secure updates Distribute your CLI however you want Keep users on latest versionsBefore moving to usrbin I was frustrated with how out-of-date installations of our CLI were. Why aren't people running brew upgrade? What you've built here is a much better solution to the problem of the keeping our CLI updated.
