Bash script to update Debian-based Linux - APT, SNAP and FLATPAK

README.md

Updater

Console bash script to make it easier to update packages (auto updaters only)

Install

Download file, than make it executable: chmod +x upd.sh Copy the file to /usr/bin without extension: sudo cp upd.sh /usr/bin/upd type upd from console and run it :)

Change Log

• Added Nala as a fourth option as I like it over using apt directly. I left the apt in as well for more options.
• Add option to use parameter to pass selection when running to help automate it more. Now can add to startup script if you wanted.
• added " --assumeyes" to flatpak update
• added " --assume-yes" to nala upgrade

# Bye, bye!
echo -e "\nExecuted ${options[$selectedOption]}\nThank you for using this script!"

Gonna use the pits off this. Easy to customize and modify too. Thanks! :)

Would it be possible to add a REBOOT option (Y/N) after the script has ended.
Some of the updates on my machine sometimes ask for a reboot.
Thank you
