Self Update

Git Web Manager

Keep GWM up to date and track new versions.

Status Badge

The Update App page includes a badge that shows whether you are up to date or if a new release is available.

Nightly Updates

Nightly self-update runs at 02:30 server time when enabled via GWM_SELF_UPDATE_ENABLED.

Preserving Local Changes

Updates automatically detect and preserve local changes. Protected files (like .htaccess) and custom exclusions are restored after the update.

Exclude paths from the app update (for example docs) using GWM_SELF_UPDATE_EXCLUDE_PATHS.

Build Steps

Composer and NPM steps run only when lock/package files change. Builds retry automatically if file permissions need to be repaired.
