An auto-updater for Java apps. It uses GitHub as the site for checking for updates and downloading updates(planned feature).
In your project, create an instance of GitHup(documented), call start() and it's done!
In your repo, create a branch called githup-updates. In that branch, you can create folders for your projects. Folder structure:
---
|-proj1
| |
| |- info.txt (The text file with update information. The format is described below.)
|
|-proj2
| |- info.txt
---
The format of info.txt is:
version: YOUR_VERSION_HERE_AS_STRING
releaseDate: YOUR_DATE_HERE_AS_STRING
downloadLink: https://here.to.download.me/new.jar
description: YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE
MULTILINE_SUPPORTED_FOR_DESCRIPTION
Note: downloadLink is optional.
Note2: downloadLink has 2 formats. One is a normal URL and the other is gh:username:repoName:projectName:filename which will be converted to the file filename in folder projectName/files/ in branch githup-updates in your repo repoName.
