glab check-update
Overview
Checks for the latest version of glab available on GitLab.com.
When run explicitly, this command always checks for updates regardless of when the last check occurred.
When run automatically after other glab commands, it checks for updates at most once every 24 hours.
To disable the automatic update check entirely, run 'glab config set check_update false'.
To re-enable the automatic update check, run 'glab config set check_update true'.

glab check-update --helpUpdate nudge behavior
glab check-update and its glab update alias always check when invoked explicitly. Automatic checks after other commands remain throttled to at most once every 24 hours and can be disabled with glab config set check_update false.
The update nudge is install-aware and agent-aware: when glab can detect the install method, it includes the matching upgrade command, and when a coding-agent environment is detected, it emits a compact bracketed line suitable for agents to relay instead of a multi-line human prompt. If the install method is unknown, expect only the release-notes URL rather than a guessed upgrade command.
