Github For Ubuntu Upd

The GitHub CLI is the most common tool for interacting with GitHub from the terminal.

Create .github/workflows/upd-automation.yml:

name: Remote Ubuntu UPD Automation
on:
schedule:
- cron: '0 2 * * 3'  # Every Wednesday at 2 AM
workflow_dispatch:      # Allow manual trigger
jobs:
run-upd:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout UPD script from repo
uses: actions/checkout@v4 github for ubuntu upd
  - name: Run UPD script on remote Ubuntu
    uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v1.0.0
    with:
      host: $ secrets.UBUNTU_HOST 
      username: $ secrets.UBUNTU_USER 
      key: $ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY 
      script: |
        cd /tmp
        git clone https://github.com/your-username/ubuntu-upd-scripts.git
        cd ubuntu-upd-scripts/scripts
        chmod +x upd-core.sh
        sudo ./upd-core.sh

Now, your Ubuntu server will be updated automatically every Wednesday at 2 AM – all orchestrated from GitHub. The GitHub CLI is the most common tool

Run this on each Ubuntu machine to check updates and report to GitHub.

#!/bin/bash
# ubuntu-upd-client.sh
# Reports pending updates to GitHub Issue or PR
REPO="your-org/ubuntu-updates"
GITHUB_TOKEN="your_personal_access_token"
MACHINE_ID=$(hostname)
If you don’t want to trust third-party code, create your own update command using GitHub gists or your private repo: Now, your Ubuntu server will be updated automatically
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
alias github-update='cd ~/my-updater && git pull && ./update.sh'

Then store your personal update.sh script on GitHub. This gives you version control + easy updates.
From Ubuntu repos:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

For newer Git than distro provides:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git


sudo apt install -y make libssl-dev libghc-zlib-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-<version>.tar.gz
tar -xf git-<version>.tar.gz
cd git-<version>
make prefix=/usr/local all
sudo make prefix=/usr/local install

For gh: use the official apt source (installation steps above) or update via package manager:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade gh

Or install via snap:
sudo snap install gh --classic
sudo snap refresh gh
