Thanks for the report! Updating description and homepage requires calls to the GitHub API, which niv tries to avoid as much as possible (instead using only git calls when possible). I think it could make sense though! I'm not actively working on niv anymore but if someone's willing to submit the feature I'm happy to give pointers. |
