​
Overview

The aguara version command displays the current version of Aguara and checks for available updates from the GitHub repository.

​
Usage

aguara version

​
Output

The command prints the version number and Git commit hash: 
aguara 0.7.0 (commit: abc1234)
If a newer version is available, it will display an update notification: 
aguara 0.6.0 (commit: def5678)
Update available: 0.7.0 → https://github.com/garagon/aguara/releases/tag/v0.7.0

​
Flags

​
--no-update-check
boolean
default:"false"
Disable the automatic update check. Also respects the AGUARA_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 environment variable.
aguara version --no-update-check

​
Version Information

The version and commit are embedded at build time using Go ldflags. When running from source without a release build, the version shows as dev: 
aguara dev (commit: none)

​
Update Checking

By default, aguara version performs an asynchronous check against the GitHub releases API to determine if a newer version is available. This check:
  • Runs in the background and doesn’t block command execution
  • Only contacts GitHub (no telemetry or analytics)
  • Can be disabled with --no-update-check or AGUARA_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
  • Times out after a few seconds if the network is unavailable
The same update check also runs automatically when you execute aguara scan, unless disabled.

​
