pihole: Update Pi-hole and Gravity.
$ pihole -up
try on your machine

The command "pihole -up" is used to update the Pi-hole software running on your device to the latest version.

Pi-hole is a network-wide ad blocker that can be installed on devices such as Raspberry Pi. It works by acting as a DNS sinkhole, blocking ad-serving domains, thus preventing advertisements from being displayed on devices connected to the network.

By running the "pihole -up" command, you are instructing Pi-hole to check for any available updates and install them if there are any. This ensures that your Pi-hole installation is up to date and has the latest bug fixes, features, and security patches.
