drupdate

Update Drupal contrib modules in seconds, without having to set up a site or open a browser!

Installation

Download the repo and run $ pip install -r requirements.txt to install drupdate's dependencies.

Configuration (Optional)

Open config.yml in your favorite text editor, and modify the settings to suit your needs.

If you do not modify config.yml, running $ python drupdate.py will ask you to enter relevant information during runtime.

Sample config.yml:

contrib-location: /home/paranoid4ndr0id/contrib/
git-username: paranoid4ndr0id
modules-to-update: metatag, google_analytics

Usage

Default
By default, you can run $ python drupdate.py and it will ask for whatever information it needs from you.

Force Git Support
Running $ python drupdate.py -g will force-enable git support, so you won't have to enable it during runtime.

Using the Config
If you did modify config.yml, then $ python drupdate.py will read the information it needs from there.

Skipping the Config
If you did not modifiy config.yml, then you can either:

1. Provide arguments:

   $ python drupdate.py -p /home/paranoid4ndr0id/contrib -u paranoid4ndr0id -m metatag -m google_analytics -m features

2. Enter the information when prompted:

   $ python drupdate.py

    Path containing contrib modules (ex. /home/your_username/drupal8/contrib ):
    /home/paranoid4ndr0id/contrib
   
    Utilize git? (y|n):
    n

    metatag google_analytics

Why use this over Drush?

First, if Drush works for you, use it. It has a much larger base for contributors, so it's constantly being updated.

One downside to Drush's update command is that it requires you have a site completely installed and setup before you can use it.

drupdate, on the other hand, will update any or all contrib modules in any directory, whether or not a site is set up.

On top of that, drupdate features git-support. It will automatically create a new branch for the updates it performs, then push it to your repo.

drupdate is also a lot smaller than Drush. You won't have to install a bunch of dependencies to use it, and you won't have to familiarize yourself with dozens of different commands.

It's readily available, and simple to use!
