Update Vs Garuda-update

[Grimy1928]

So this might be a dumb question but I haven't used Garuda in a while and saw that there was a new command called Garuda-update. I can't find any information on how this differs to the update command so if someone could clarify that would be great thanks

garuda-update

is the app/package name and work in terminal same way like the "shorten/alias"

update

garuda-update <=> update

Oh I see. So update is still the alias that should be run in terminal but the package that is run in the background is called garuda-update ? Thanks!

They're the same thing

You can run either garuda-update or update. I prefer update cause it's shorter, but when showing people how to use a command, garuda-update may be less confusing to them.

Makes sense. Thanks a lot I appreciate it, probably just me being dumb haha. Good to know it's the same thing though

Don’t make it so complicated

garuda-update may be less confusing to them.

Correct, someone asks if update work in Manjaro too, so
garuda-update make it more clear and I use update as “alias”.
