#github-update-checker

Compares project's package.json version and latest GitHub tag version and returns the result.

It's really dumb, it just extracts all numbers from a tag name and doesn't use semver, so "v1.1.1" will become "111".

github-update-checker automatically tries to get project's package.json and construct a URL to GitHub API from repository.url section, but can get everything as an option.
