Some people were triggered by the creation of this project and this post, I am here to address them as mature as possible. I am not here to offend anyone nor attack anyone. 😕

>S: This is stupid
A: It is. This is made to be an absolute alternative to other "Spicetify Auto Updaters" because they couldn't make one like mine for no reason at all. Instead, they create multiple files for no reason at all when 2 scripts are just fine (1 script can also be possible)

>S: Just make a shortcut to do spicetify [command]
A: That is what this script does. Automatically.

There are tons of Spicetify Auto Updaters, but most of them are intrusive. By Intrusive, I mean that some of the functions there aren't really needed for consumers, multiple files to just update spicetify— I just want something that auto updates Spicetify.

That's why I made my own Spicetify Auto Updater, A non-intrusive one.

Spicetify-AutoUpdate

You just run the Batch file, it's a one click script so it does everything by itself, everything is local you're not talking to my servers or whatever— it does what it only needs to do.

The logic is very simple, It creates a .lnk shortcut to shell:startup named "Spicetify AutoUpdate.lnk" (It's linked to the batch file to run the powershell script so that it always updates on login), then checks if you have spicetify installed, if not then it will install it, after that it just runs spicetify backup; spicetify upgrade; spicetify 'backup apply' and then just notifies the user that it has updated it throughNotifyIcon in powershell.
