Ok i don't rly remember how I first installed zig, how does one update to 0.12.0 using vscode
it says on the zig language extension that it can manage and install zig versions.

open the pallete (default keybind is Ctrl-P) and type >zig. that should show an option to update the zig install.

#

alternatively, go to [BASE]/Code/User/globalStorage/ziglang.vscode-zig/zig_install. delete the content of that dir and unpack the new version downloaded from the website into there. [BASE] is either ~/.config or %APPDATA%, depending on your system (no idea for mac though, sorry0)

I will say, I have an easier time managing Zig's updates through Scoop.
https://scoop.sh

Just need the versions bucket and install zig-dev

not gonna lie, i really recommend you zig version manager (zvm) it's one github, search up, also if you're on Windows, you'll need to enable developper mode or git the .exe file admin privileges
