Nitro is an actively maintained project by Pixel & Tonic. You’ll get the best experience with Nitro if you regularly update to get the latest features and improvements.
There are two steps to updating Nitro. First, you want to update the Nitro command line tool and, second, based on that update, you’ll update the Docker containers so they have the latest changes.
If you installed Nitro via the Bash command, run:
➜ nitro self-update
If you installed Nitro via Homebrew, run:
➜ brew upgrade nitro
No matter which one of those you did, you still want to run the update command afterward:
➜ nitro update
