Auto Update

[oribarilan]

Currently vimcode signals the user (with a toast) when a new version is available. Ideally vimcode would self-update (okay if update only takes effect on restart). Also ideally: user would see updates from changelog (delta from previous installed version).

Whoever wants to offer the mechanism, and/or offer a PR, is welcome :)

Hello @oribarilan, I am willing to take a look at it. I never touched the source of an opencode plugin before, I am going to do my research but is there things I should know before starting for this one particularly ?

hey @Croos3r !
thanks for wanting to help out.
I know this is currently done in omo-slim but i think they are distrubting via npm. Ideally we could keep the github repo distribution for simplicity, and understand if/how opencode is/will support it, and what it requires from us.
If impossible, we need to understand the implications of using npm for distributions. doens't sound that bad but still.

Ideally all of this can also take into concideration if/how can we create a "beta"/"rc" flow where we can release something that won't appear to users, to be able to test it out e2e. This can be helpeful because opencode has some issues with how plugins play locally vs remote.
