Some questions regarding 1Password CLI and winget
I've been using 1Password CLI since it's initial release and just now I figured I would check if there's some smoother way of managing updates of the application.
As of now, the steps for updating...
Small update on this.
When installing 1Password CLI manually, I added the "install" folder C:\Program Files\1Password CLI to PATH for the entire system, while the installed winget package added its install folder, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\AgileBits.1Password.CLI_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe, to the PATH for my user account. Thus when running any op command, I was still using the old manually installed op.exe.
I noticed this today when I tried to update the winget installation and it said that it already was updated and running 2.23.0, while op --version showed 2.21.0. Removing C:\Program Files\1Password CLI from system PATH fixed this without needing a reboot. I've also removed the folder C:\Program Files\1Password CLI without any issues.
Side note regarding updating through winget. There is a delay between when a new version is released for installing using the manual method and when it becomes available in winget. The latest version right now is 2.24.0 and it was released 2023-12-14 which is more than three weeks ago. I subscribe to the RSS feed for the releases and noticed that this kind of delay of 2 or more weeks has been consistent for the winget version and I'm guessing this is caused by some extra steps required, like validation, for publishing updates to winget.
