Updater

Updater is here for making updates a little bit easier. Right now there are quite a lot of different pieces needed to be used and updated in different ways and from different sources or using different package managers. This is where updater comes into play it helps updating using one command updater update, and that's it. Then you can run it every week or automate even further with i.e. launchd.

Updater is made for OS X, but I guess it can work with Linuxes too.
