Updates​

The updater checks for new releases from https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste/filen-cli-releases when the CLI is run (unless skipped in the 5mins since the last check, or through the --skip-update flag). The executable will be replaced in place, with the filename updated if it contains the version number.
