    update [options]                    Update and burn all configured distros to the configured partitions

Configuration

All Configuration is done in ~/.config/usb-main/config.json. Here's an example file:

{
		"partitions":{
			"manjaro":"/dev/sde"
		},
		"enabled":["manjaro"]
}

Partitions defines what partitions distros get burnt to when running update. Please be extremely careful when using this option, as misusing it could wipe a drive you didn't want it to. Enabled is an array of distro names that controls which distros get synced and burnt.
