How to Update A1111

[stumueller]

May be a silly question, but when a new version is release is it just a case of git pull the repo, or do I need to do any installation? will the webui.sh script auto-update my installation?

yes, when the new release comes you just pull

do I need to do any installation?

depends on your definition, the launch script is also the installation script, so normally it should "auto" install for you
with a few exceptions such as torch xformers, if a different version is already installed we don't automatically install upgread it, you'll be prompted that you should pass the argument --reinstall-torch --reinstall-xformers

will the webui.sh script auto-update my installation?

we don't do auto update
you need to pull manually or use a script that pulls for you
the argument --update-check only checks but that's not perform updates

if you find your instance auto updating that it means something else is updating it for you
like you could have a pull command built into your personal launch script, or it's possible that you are using a third party launcher that includes a update sequence

you can switch between versions just by switching to different commits / branches / tags
