About automatic update checks

When an upgrade package is automatically downloaded for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, you'll receive a message letting you know you can upgrade GitHub Enterprise Server. Packages download to the /var/lib/ghe-updates directory on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. For more information about the recommendations and requirements for upgrades, see "Overview of the upgrade process."

If a hotpatch is available for an upgrade, the .hpkg will download automatically. In the management console you can choose to install the hotpatch immediately or schedule installation for a later time. For more information, see "Upgrading with a hotpatch."
