# Updater

CLI´s get widely used. Updating them for various OSes is a pain. The common approach is to add a README.md on the project website an tell the user how to download and install that binary on his local machine.  

Updater will do that for the user with a simple command.

It will download the binary from github releases.

Example usage:

```go

package main

import (

    "github.com/metal-stack/updater"

    "github.com/spf13/cobra"

)

const (

    programName = "mybinary"

    owner = "my-github-organisation"

    repo = "my-cli"

)

var (

    updateCmd = &cobra.Command{

        Use:   "update",

        Short: "update the program",

    }

    updateCheckCmd = &cobra.Command{

        Use:   "check",

        Short: "check for update of the program",

        RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {

            u, err := updater.New(owner, repo, programName)

            if err != nil {

                return err

            }

            return u.Check()

        },

    }

    updateDoCmd = &cobra.Command{

        Use:   "do",

        Short: "do the update of the program",

        RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {

            u, err := updater.New(owner, repo, programName)

            if err != nil {

                return err

            }

            return u.Do()

        },

    }

)

```
