You can enable automatic update checks so that your GitHub Enterprise instance checks for and downloads the latest GitHub Enterprise release.
When an upgrade package is automatically downloaded for your GitHub Enterprise instance, you'll receive a message letting you know you can upgrade GitHub Enterprise. Packages download to the /var/lib/ghe-updates directory on your GitHub Enterprise instance. For more information, see "Upgrading GitHub Enterprise."
If a hotpatch is available for an upgrade, the .hpkg will download automatically.
Tip: To enable automatic update checks, your GitHub Enterprise instance must be able to connect to https://github-enterprise.s3.amazonaws.com.
