### Does Eget keep track of installed binaries?
259+
260+
Eget does not maintain any sort of manifest containing information about
261+
installed binaries. In general, Eget does not maintain any state across
262+
invocations. However, Eget does support the `--upgrade-only` option, which
263+
will first check `EGET_BIN` to determine if you have already downloaded the
264+
tool you are trying to install -- if so it will only download a new version if
265+
the GitHub release is newer than the binary on your file system.
