# nsc version check

Checks whether the current binary is up to date.

`nsc version check` checks whether the installed `nsc` binary is the latest
version, without modifying it. By default (`--latest`), it checks whether a
newer version is available. With `--at_least`, it instead checks whether the
current version satisfies a minimum version constraint, which is useful for
scripts that require a particular baseline feature set rather than the
absolute newest release.

The command communicates its result through its exit code, making it suitable
for use in CI pipelines and scripts: it exits with code `0` if the version is
up to date (or the `--at_least` constraint is met), and exits with code `2`
if the version is outdated (or the constraint is not met).

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
nsc version check [--at_least string] [--latest] [--quiet]
```

### Example

```bash theme={null}
nsc version check
```

```text nocopy Output theme={null}
nsc is up to date (v0.0.484).
```

## Options

<h3 id="--at_least-string">
  \--at\_least string
</h3>

Check if the current version is at least the given version, instead of
checking for the newest available version. This does not check whether a
newer version is available — only whether the installed version meets or
exceeds the constraint you provide.

<h3 id="--latest">
  \--latest
</h3>

Check if a newer version is available. Enabled by default (`--latest=true`);
this is the standard mode used when you just want to know whether you're
running the latest `nsc` release.

<h3 id="--quiet">
  \--quiet
</h3>

Suppress successful output. When set, `nsc version check` only prints output
if the version is outdated (or the `--at_least` constraint is not met),
making it easier to use in scripts where you only care about the failure
case.
