Thanks for this! But it's only for CLI , is there something for upgrading xcode from command-line too?

@xbeta: Something like this should do what you want. If you're upgrading, you'll have to make sure to delete the old /Applications/Xcode.app application bundle first.

As I've since left my last company, those XCode URLs may not work forever, in which case you might want to download them from the App Store and mirror them yourself.

The XCode dmg files were found via an excellent trick from Brian @cunnie at Pivotal Labs. Since XCode is a very large download, you should have enough time to grab it before the App Store app deletes the dmg. Just make sure that you're getting the complete file though! You can use a bash while loop with sleep to poll for the existence of the final download file and then copy it somewhere.
