func Update

func Update(ctx context.Context, current string) (updated bool, latest string, err error)

Update checks GitHub for a release newer than current and, if one exists, downloads it and replaces the running executable in place. current must be a semver version (as produced by the release build's -ldflags); dev builds have no meaningful version to compare against and will return an error.
