chk-upstream

chk-upstream retrieves a git repository version and compares it against a pacman package version

Prerequestits

chk-upstream uses the github cli tool to read the githib api. It requires a github user account to work!

Once gh is installed authenticate: call gh auth login and follow the prompts or use the one liner gh auth login --with-token <<<"github_token". A token can be created in your github user account under settings / Developer Settings / Personal Access Tokes.

Usage

    or: chk-upstream --git git_repository_name --pacman package_name
    or: chk-upstream -h
    or: chk-upstream --help
