Usage

Using the check and update methods you can quickly create a simple update script.

const GithubUpdater = require('github-update');
const gitupdate = new GithubUpdater({ repo: 'DiscordHangouts/Translations', localPath: './languages' });

updater.check

const GithubUpdater = require('github-update');
const gitupdate = new GithubUpdater({ repo: 'DiscordHangouts/Translations', localPath: './languages' });
// Check if we're up to date.
gitupdate.checkVersion((err, uptodate) => {
	if (err) throw err;

	if (!uptodate) {
        console.log(`Localization is not up to date.`);
	} else {
		console.log(`Localization is up to date.`);
	}
});

updater.update

const GithubUpdater = require('github-update');
const gitupdate = new GithubUpdater({ repo: 'DiscordHangouts/Translations', localPath: './languages' });
// Download latest version of the repo and extract it.
gitupdate.updateRepository((success, error) => {
	if (!success) throw error;
	console.log(`${prefix}Successfully updated the localization.`);
});
