auto-update-plus

Keeps your Atom packages up to date.

apm apm apm CI David

This package is a fork of auto-update-packages, but differing in some key-aspects:

  • OS-independent Atom notifications
  • inclusion/exclusion of specific packages
  • limit updates to SemVer ranges
  • runs updates concurrently

Installation

apm

Install auto-update-plus from Atom install view or use the command-line equivalent:

$ apm install auto-update-plus

Using Git

Change to your Atom packages directory:

Windows

# Powershell
$ cd $Env:USERPROFILE\.atom\packages
:: Command Prompt
$ cd %USERPROFILE%\.atom\packages

Linux & macOS

$ cd ~/.atom/packages/

Clone the repository as auto-update-plus:

$ git clone https://github.com/idleberg/atom-auto-update-plus auto-update-plus

Install dependencies:

$ cd auto-update-plus && npm install

Usage

Just sit tight :sunglasses:

As the name implies, this package runs automatically every 6 hours. If any updates are available, they will be installed in the background and you will be notified about successful updates.

All of the defaults – such as update intervals or notification messages – and other settings can be tweaked in the package settings.

If you're impatient, you can force an update check by running Auto Update Plus: Update Now from the command palette or the Packages menu.
