Is there a way to update plugins via the command line?

[jsatk]

I have a script I run that keeps everything on my machine up-to-date as well as easily sets up new machines. One big hang up since switching from vim to neovim (and switching package managers) is I can no longer automate updating plugins.

I use to have this in my script when I used Plug.

$ vim +PlugUpdate +quitall

I am looking for the equivalent for neovim and Lazy. It appears running $ nvim +Lazy fails because Lazy doesn't exist yet.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this? Thank you.

Hello @jsatk,

I found this command in the usage section of the docs:

$ nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa

Best regards!

I just wanted to add that now it is mentioned in the help file and not in the readme.

lazy.nvim/doc/lazy.nvim.txt

Line 1002 in 1159bdc

nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa

That's because there's now a full blown website where you'll find all the docs https://lazy.folke.io/

Well I feel dumb. I spent a non-insignificant time reading the `:help` and README and missed this. Thank you.
