Update command scripts for PowerShell

Want to update your computer software by using PowerShell scripts?

When you run the command update.ps1, then the command will run scripts to do software updates and upgrades:

• Windows: scoop for the Scoop packager, choco for Chocolately, etc.
• tooling: Node npm, Python pip, Rust cargo, Ruby gem, Atom apm, etc. [TODO]
• source code management: git pull, hg pull, etc. [TODO]
• any of your own custom scripts, before and after everything else. [TODO]

Install

Clone the repo to your own system:

git clone https://github.com/UpdateCommand/update-for-powershell.git $HOME/update-for-powershell

Add the bin directory to your own path:

$Env:PATH += ";[HOME]\update-for-powershell\bin"

Where [HOME] is a placeholder for your home directory, you need to replace it manually. Usually, its value is C:\Users\[USER_NAME] ([USER_NAME] is another placeholder, type your username there)

To set the path persistently, go to the "Edit your user Environment Variables" GUI, and add the entry in your user PATH

Copy the config directory to your own directory:

cp -R ~/update/config/update ~/.config/update

Run the script (.ps1 is optional, usually):

update.ps1
