GitHub Releases

Precompiled binaries for Linux x86_64, macOS x86_64/ARM64 and Windows x86_64 are published on the Releases page.

Self-update

Ghscaff checks for new releases on startup. When a newer version is available, it prompts you to update. Choose “yes” to replace the running binary with the latest version.

If you installed ghscaff with cargo install, the auto-updater will refuse to touch the binary and instead direct you to run:

cargo install --force ghscaff

You can disable update checks by setting the environment variable:

GHSCAFF_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 ghscaff

Uninstall

rm -f ~/.local/bin/ghscaff   # ghscaff binary
rm -rf ~/.ghscaff/           # boilerplate cache + encrypted vault
