Fetch the latest Zig master branch build easily with one command. update-zig will automatically parse https://ziglang.org/download/index.json, download the latest x86_64-linux archive, and unpack the contents to $HOME/.zig.
You can run the command again and nothing will happen if a new build is not available so feel free to spam it however you like.
Note: dialog colors may be different on your machine.
update-zig
Make sure the following packages are installed if any issues arise on your system:

git clone https://github.com/snail23/update-zig $HOME/.zig
chmod +x $HOME/.zig/update-zig
Optionally, run update-zig on login as well as add $HOME/.zig to PATH:
echo 'PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.zig"' >> $HOME/.profile
echo update-zig >> $HOME/.profile
