The update check
floe version is the only command that checks for a newer release on its own. send and
receive never do, and floe update checks only when you run it. The check asks GitHub for
the latest release tag (https://api.github.com/repos/jannskiee/floe/releases/latest) and
caches the answer for 24 hours in floe/update-check.json inside your user config directory
(~/.config on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support on macOS, %AppData% on Windows).
Delete that file to force a fresh check. When the cache is cold, the request is abandoned
after one second, so floe version never stalls on a slow network.
Set FLOE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 to skip the check and the hint entirely. Binaries built from
source report floe dev and never check.
Alternatives
You can also use the root flag:Terminal
floe version (for example
floe 1.x.x). No docs link, and no update hint.
