# Usage

See https://oclif.io/docs/releasing.html#autoupdater

## Configuration

### Update Check Interval

You can customize how often the plugin checks for updates by adding the `autoupdate.debounce` configuration to your `package.json`:

```json
{
  "oclif": {
    "update": {
      "autoupdate": {
        "debounce": 7
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The `debounce` value is the number of days between update checks for all channels. When set, it overrides the default behavior for all channels.

If not configured, the plugin defaults to:

- Stable channel: 14 days
- Other channels: 1 day

# Commands

<!-- commands -->
* [`oclif-example update [CHANNEL]`](#oclif-example-update-channel)
