Upgrade

Force a CLI update check and install the latest version

Updates the CLI to the latest version. Works only when installed via npm i -g @expensicat/cli; for other install methods (direct binary, Homebrew, etc.) it prints the appropriate reinstall instructions and exits non-zero.

expensicat upgrade

Typical output when a newer version is available:

When already current:

Already on latest (0.2.0).
