Upgrade after installing via vcs?

[arozans]

This is not a feature request but rather a question.

Is it possible to detect that there is newer app version available on the upstream branch, after installing it from a git repo?

[gaborbernat]

I don't believe so at the moment.

Is should work roughly the same as with pip. Does pip let you do that (maybe you know @gaborbernat or @uranusjr)?

The recommended way to do this in pip right now is to uninstall/reinstall. There’s work on making -U work for this, but the implementation is not yet ready. https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/10564

In terms of pipx I think we can simply implement pipx upgrade foo to uninstall foo and reinstall the same URL again.

PR welcome.

Seems this feature is already implemented. Pipx will detect the version and install the latest one. Any specific scenario we should cover?
