In this new section of the course, we're going to cover packaging and distributing our read it up from
the previous section of the course, this will include preparing app assets code signing and adding
the ability to release automatic updates.
To do this will be using the electron builder module.
Electron Builder has become the go to packaging tool for Electron and includes pretty much everything
we'll need, including a very simple to use auto update.
If you're at all familiar with the concept of pushing application updates outside of the official Windows
and Mac app stores, you'll know that this involves the need for a dedicated application update server.
This can often be a bit of an unwanted complexity to configure and maintain.
So in using electron builder, we'll see how to achieve the same functionality provided by a dedicated
update server using only GitHub in.
The next lesson will start by preparing our app for release.
