Here is how to update your GitHub CLI version on Windows. This guide assumes you have already installed GitHub CLI on your system.

  1. Visit https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/latest
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the assets
  3. Find the entry for your system architecture (amd64 or arm64) 
# Example
GitHub CLI 2.X.X windows amd64
GitHub CLI 2.X.X windows arm64
  1. Download the file
  2. Open the ZIP archive
  3. Open the director where your current version is installed
    • This is probably C:\Program Files\GitHub CLI
    • Run where.exe gh to find the path if you are unsure
  4. Copy the gh.exe file from the ZIP archive to the directory where your current version is installed
    • You will be prompted to replace the existing file
    • You may also need to provide administrator permissions
  5. Run gh --version to verify the installation

Done! You have successfully updated GitHub CLI on Windows.
