Installation Guide

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the repository into your system:

# Latest version
git clone https://github.com/fernand3z/update-script.git
# OR specific version (recommended)
git clone --branch v2.0.0 https://github.com/fernand3z/update-script.git
cd update-script

Step 2: Run the Installation Script

The installation script automatically detects your shell and installs the corresponding script:

I. Run the command to make install.sh executable.

chmod +x install.sh

II. Run the command to install

./install.sh

• The appropriate script will be copied to ~/scripts/update_packages.
• If your shell is not detected, manually choose the script from the scripts/ folder.

Step 3: Add Alias to Your Shell Configuration

To simplify usage, add an alias to your shell configuration file:

For Zsh:

# Add to ~/.zshrc
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For Bash:

# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For Fish:

# Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For NuShell:

# Add to ~/.config/nushell/config.nu
alias upgrade = ~/scripts/update_packages

For Korn Shell (KSH):

# Add to ~/.kshrc
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For C Shell (CSH):

# Add to ~/.cshrc
alias upgrade ~/scripts/update_packages

For Dash:

# Add to ~/.dashrc or ~/.profile
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For Elvish:

# Add to ~/.elvish/rc.elv
fn upgrade { ~/scripts/update_packages }

For Xonsh:

# Add to ~/.xonshrc
aliases['upgrade'] = '~/scripts/update_packages'

For BusyBox:

# Add to ~/.profile or /etc/profile
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

For POSIX Shell:

# Add to ~/.profile
alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

After adding the alias, reload your shell configuration:

# For Zsh
source ~/.zshrc

# For Bash
source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.bash_profile

# For Fish
source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# For NuShell
source ~/.config/nushell/config.nu

# For KSH
source ~/.kshrc

# For CSH
source ~/.cshrc

# For Dash/POSIX/BusyBox
. ~/.profile

# For Elvish
exec elvish

# For Xonsh
source ~/.xonshrc

Step 4: Run the Script
