@wjdw87 The readme.md is also downloaded with the MirrorMirror code when you run the installation command. You’ll find it on your Pi at ~/MagicMirror/README.md.

But is there a way (a sh-script) to update MM and all (!) of the installed (different) modules in a batch. I now do have to go through all the directories recursively. That takes lots of time and is quite annoying. Any idea?
Thx Jimmy

I use this script, which comes with no guarantee:

 #!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
echo "######### CHECKING MAGIC MIRROR ##########"
git fetch
if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]
then
    echo "######### UPGRADING MAGIC MIRROR #########"
    git pull
    npm install
else
    echo "######## NO UPGRADE REQUIRED #########"
fi
echo ""

cd modules

for directory in *; do
    if [[ -d ${directory} && ${directory} != "node_modules" && ${directory} != "default" ]]; then
        echo "######### CHECKING ${directory} ##########"
        cd ${directory}
        git fetch
        if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]; then
            echo "######### UPGRADING ${directory} #########"
            git pull
            if [[ -e "package.json" && -f "package.json" ]]; then
                npm install
            fi
        else
            echo "######## NO UPGRADE REQUIRED #########"
        fi
        echo ""
        cd ..
    fi
done
