Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   Via SSH

   git clone [email protected]:yourusername/update-all-script.git

   Via HTTPS

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/update-all-script.git

2. Install the script:

   cd update-all-script
   sudo cp src/update-all.sh /usr/local/bin/update-all
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/update-all

3. Configure PATH

   The system PATH needs to include /usr/local/bin for the script to be executable from any directory. There are two configuration options:

   3.1. Temporary configuration

   For the current terminal session:

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

   3.2. Permanent configuration

   Add to your shell configuration file:

   # Bash users:
   echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc  
   source ~/.bashrc
   
   # Zsh users:   
   echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> ~/.zshrc
   source ~/.zshrc

4. Verify installation:

   which update-all

   The output should show: /usr/local/bin/update-all

Usage

Run the script as superuser:

sudo update-all
