On linux every time you get a new vscodium update you should either update your vscodium through the package manager or do it yourself(downloading the update archive, extracting everything from there and moving everything into your vscodium folder). Sometimes on some distributions you have to wait longer for someone who will upload vscodium on user repository in time onto with the release itself, usually with a delay. You also have to spend a little more time for building package. Thus this util can help you to update vscodium in countable seconds.

  1. Download your tar.gz update.
  2. Then this program will do everything necessary things to update vscodium for you.

Usage:
./vscodium-update <path to tar.gz update> <path to vscodium destination(default /usr/share/vscodium/>
