Automatic Squad update #96
Description
I think things are going to be moving fast with Squad getting many updates frequently. Which will require everyone using Squad needing to perform updates to their Squad teams just as fast. If you have multiple repos each using Squad, then that's even more updates to run. What if we had an automated way to update a repo's Squad Team.
What if there was a Squad Team that just performs Squad updates on user's repos and submits a PR to the repo? Perhaps this could be an opt in feature that anyone that wants to have auto updates they can subscribe to it. Maybe they can even subscribe to only minor updates and defer doing auto updates on major releases.
Thoughts?

I like this idea a lot. :) Squad could do that - it could send pull requests to repositories it can see via GitHub search that are using Squad. I'd be happy to implement this if customers don't find it creepy!

I like this idea. maybe it's an option to enable automatic updates when you deploy a squad.
