How to update games via command line?

Open butyoutried opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

It seems that command line version of insteadman knows only how to refresh repositories. Please provide some way to update games from the terminal too.

Thanks for the program, by the way.

You can you this install command as update for game:

insteadman install arobot

Or did you mean something else?

Oh, cool. But is there a way to know that some quest is updated without visiting instead-games.ru or launching insteadman's GUI?

I just wanted a single command which would work pretty much like "pacman -Syu".

It can be a trivial shell script:

  1. Refresh repositories (insteadman update).

  2. Get list of installed games with available updates (?).

  3. Update everything in that list (insteadman install $GAME).
