How to use updater:

• Run updater.exe and input all data required

How to build updater:

• env/Scripts/activate.bat
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• pyinstaller build.spec

Move dist/updater.exe to parent folder

Note:

- A directory is created in C:\ProgramData\autoupdater for all of the intermediate operations
- A file called .autopublish must be present and updated at the remote repository
    {
        "URL": "https://github.com/hello/world.git",
        "Branch": "main",
        "Tag": "v1.0.0",
        "UpdateMessage": "Changes in v1.0.0: \r\n\r\n* Better everything!!"
    }
  The Tag and UpdateMessage need to be updated for updates to work
- Git username and password may be specified optionally in C:\ProgramData\autoupdater\.autopublish.config as follows:
    {
        "URL": "https://github.com/hello/world.git",
        "Path": "C:\\Users\\hello\\project",
        "Username": "hello",
        "Password": "world"
    }
- The updater will not update itself - the updater needs to be kept separate from the files to update
