updater
Built-in desktop updater
Check and install signed updates from inside the app.
signed updates
Updates you can verify before they install.
FluxGit's desktop updater validates a release signature before installation, so beta fixes reach you without manual reinstalls and without trusting an unverified binary.
The problem: manual updates are friction and risk.
Reinstalling a beta by hand for every fix is friction, and installing an unverified binary is a risk. A signed updater removes both.
Honest beta limit
Releases are signed; the app verifies the signature before any update installs. The whole path, from update manifest to install, is covered by automated tests.
How FluxGit helps.
signature
Verified before install
The release signature is validated so a tampered build is rejected.
contract
Same manifest as prod
The local server can expose the same update manifest contract used in production.
Privacy and security posture.
The updater checks for releases and verifies signatures. It does not send your repository data.
