HOW TO USE IT

When a Render service needs configuration changes from a repository workflow, run `render services update <service>` with flags for the fields to change. The command runs only in non-interactive mode.

WHY THIS HELPS

Update a Render service's configuration from a repository workflow.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v2.15.0
• <service> (required): Service identifier or name to update; the command reference shows it as a required positional argument.
• --name <name>: Set the service name.
• --branch <branch>: Set the Git branch.
• --image <image-url>: Set the Docker image URL.
• --build-command <command>: Set the build command.
• --start-command <command>: Set the start command.
• --auto-deploy: Enable auto-deploy.
• Prerequisite: Run in non-interactive mode.
• Prerequisite: Authenticate with Render using `render login` before running commands that require account access.
• Docs conflict: The available CLI reference documents v2.29.0, newer than the card’s v2.15.0. It documents the named update flags but does not establish that their behavior or availability was identical in v2.15.0.
