Update notifier for non-npm install #1313

Open hipstersmoothie opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user of the auto binary I want know when there are updates

Describe the solution you'd like

auto tells me if there is a new update and links to the current release

Additional context

Might be able to use this https://www.npmjs.com/package/update-check

@hipstersmoothie when you say non-npm, do you mean this should only prompt the user to update if have installed the binary manually? I can try doing this with the package you suggested but it's geared towards globally installed npm packages.

yeah. thinking about this more it the update warning should probably only be shown during --help or auto info since some of the command are expected to have specific output (like auto version)

Might be better to roll our own inside auto then
