    10  ## Update check
    11  
    12  To keep Skaffold up to date, update checks are made to Google servers to see if a new version of
    13  Skaffold is available. By default, this behavior is enabled. As a side effect this request is logged.
    14   
    15  To disable the update check you have two options:
    16  
    17  1. set the `SKAFFOLD_UPDATE_CHECK` environment variable to `false`
    18  2. turn it off in skaffold's global config with: 
    19  ```bash
    20      skaffold config set -g update-check false
    21  ```
