Feature Suggestion: automatic updates #205

We use a different host than our game server to host our Headless Clients - and we use Swifty there too to make sure that the HC repositories are up to date.

Part of this means that although I've written Slack integrations to generate our repositories, and seperately to run the HCs with the different repositories we have, I can't make the HC server automatically update the repositories on the HC server after a new repository generation.

As it stands, Swifty can check repositories automatically on startup, but doesn't perform updates automatically. If the main swifty.exe executable could have either an option to automatically download any updates or for an -a cmd flag to make it do them automatically, that would be fantastic - I imagine that in addition to being useful for administrators, many players would like an option like this.

As always, appreciate Swifty and all your hard work. Always very impressed with the quality of the tool.

I am hoping to get to this at some point by implementing it into the swifty-cli
