$SHELL

This shell script :

• save your server diffs by commiting it to the git repo
• get the last version link and version number
• pull the new version archive
• unzip the archive in the current directory
• delete the archive
• outputs success message with details

After that, just check the changed files before committing, and you're all done 🎉

Note : if you're not running windows bedrock server, you can update the script to your needs 🙂
