Here's a quick little script I put together that should do the trick. It's idempotent, so it won't do anything if there are no updates. I did use `jq` for convenience though. #!/bin/sh curvers= if command -V rg > /dev/null 2>&1; then curvers="$(rg -V | cut -d' ' -f2)" fi latesturl="https://api.github.com/repos/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/latest" latestvers="$(curl -s "$latesturl" | jq -r .tag_name)" if [ "$curvers" = "$latestvers" ]; then echo "ripgrep is up to date" exit 0 fi name="ripgrep_${latestvers}_amd64.deb" url="https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/$latestvers/$name" (cd /tmp && curl -LO "$url" && sudo dpkg -i "$name") echo "ripgrep updated from $curvers to $latestvers"
