It is recommended that you back up your ESO live profile before using `banana` in case you want to revert back.

On Windows, press `Windows Key + e` to open a file explorer and enter the following path in the address bar:

```
%HOME%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\
```

or on Windows 11

```
Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\
```

Make a copy of the `live` folder and rename it to something meaningful like `old` or `backup`.

# Usage

On first run, the `addons.yaml` file will be created in your ESO live directory.
It will look similar to the following:

```yaml

- https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1146-LibCustomMenu.html
```

Add the ESOUI url for each additional addon you wish to keep updated.
Make sure to prefix each URL line with a dash and a space (`- `).
