📦 Auto-Updates

Keep Your CLI Up-to-Date

The CLI automatically checks for updates every 24 hours. If a new version is available, you’ll be prompted:

⚠️ Update available: 0.2.0 (current: 0.1.0). Do you want to update now?

You can skip the update, and the CLI won't ask again for 24 hours:

⚠️ Update skipped. You won't be asked again for 24 hours.

To manually update, use:

npm install -g create-nolly
# Or use yarn/pnpm depending on your setup
