Create an interim updater script for public beta #3859

Open coatless opened 4 days ago

coatless commented 4 days ago

With Betas now being built by a CRON job, the open beta participants are likely to be on outdated versions more quickly.

Would it be possible to either:

  1. add in an auto update check on open; or,
  2. make available the beta updater script?

Though this will likely get better in the next few days when conda-forge and chocolatey gain recipes for positron. (Brew just got one about a day or two back.)

We're tracking auto-updates in #1837. You can find an early version of a beta update script for macOS here: https://gist.github.com/jmcphers/ee24cfc5fce0a65afd2902db5173dd2f

but note that it requests a PAT which is not necessary any longer since the repository is public. We'll use this issue to track adding an interim beta updater script (auto-updates will probably take a while to sort out).
