[Documentation] add more info/guide to = Updating to latest version with git and autograbber-cron.sh script,

Issue #127 open
Tyler Durden created an issue

Can you please add more info/steps on how to auto update with Git and autograbber-cron.sh script.
The information below is insufficient to help anyone who wants to do this with autograbber-cron.sh instead of the manual method

Updating to the latest version

You must use git to keep up to date. The autograbber-cron.sh script is how I do this. If you'd like to manually update just run these commands.

    The autograbber-cron.sh script does automatic updates, so if you’ve followed the “Cron scripted usage” usage section and that works, then you’re getting automatic updates.

    Is there something that’s not working for you?

    I have used Linux terminal but I am not familiar with using Cron.

    However I am using this script in windows CMD etc..
    so can I use Cron in windows CMD or powershell?

    Can you give real example how to keep the program up to date in windows CMD / powershell.

    Also the cron example is not easily to understand if not familiar with cron.
    can you explain what the command means in more detail or breakdown of the commands.
    and will this also work in windows CMD or powershell?

    # m    h  dom mon dow   command
      0    1   *   *   *    timeout 6h chronic $HOME/webdl/autograbber-cron.sh /videos/ABC4Kids /videos/Insight
    

    in terminal, is this the command to download that shows ABC4Kids Insight

    timeout 6h chronic $HOME/webdl/autograbber-cron.sh /videos/ABC4Kids /videos/Insight
    

    or this command

    0    1   *   *   *    timeout 6h chronic $HOME/webdl/autograbber-cron.sh /videos/ABC4Kids /videos/Insight
    

    then in folder eg. /videos/ABC4Kids

    I need to create a text file called patterns.txt that contains this string below?
    ABC iView/By Channel/ABC4Kids/*/*

    Also what is shell-style globs?
