Update eww without building from scratch

[mantacid]

When I built eww the first time, it took forever. While this wouldn’t be a high-priority feature, it would be a nice QoL change to allow people to update eww instead of having to reinstall it.

Please tell me if this is already a thing and I’m just oblivious to it.

What exactly would that look like? If you want to not have to rebuild everything from scratch, just... don't.
What's missing in this workflow?

First build

$ git clone https://github.com/elkowar/eww
$ cd eww
$ cargo build --release

your binary is now in eww/target/release/eww, install however you wish to

later, after an update

$ cd eww
$ git pull
$ cargo build --release

updated binary is now in eww/target/release/eww, install however you wish to

Ahh, I see. It appears I am simply stupid. Thank you for the clarification. I was unaware you could even do such a thing with git.
