kiro-up: Auto-update Kiro IDE on Linux with rollback support

The problem Kiro IDE on Linux (installed via .deb) has no built-in auto-update mechanism. Every time a new version is released, you need to: Open the browser Go to kiro.dev/downloads Download the .deb Run sudo dpkg -i ... Coming from IntelliJ — which updates itself with a click — this felt like too much friction. The solution I wrote kiro-up, a small shell script that: Checks the latest version via Kiro's metadata endpoint Compares it with your installed version Downloads and installs the new .deb if there's an update Saves the previous version number so you can rollback if something breaks Installation bash curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pieronatan/9807eaa70bdb869ad509e7980b37fe2e/raw/kiro-up.sh -o ~/.local/bin/kiro-up \ && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/kiro-up \ && SHELL_RC="${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc"; [ -f "$SHELL_RC" ] || SHELL_RC="$HOME/.bashrc" \ && grep -q 'alias kiro-up' "$SHELL_RC" 2>/dev/null || echo "alias kiro-up='~/.local/bin/kiro-up'" >> "$SHELL_RC" \ && echo "Done! Run 'source $SHELL_RC' or open a new terminal, then use: kiro-up" Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
