brewup

A CLI that automates upgrading Homebrew and all installed packages. Brewup runs the following routines in order to keep your system up to date with the latest versions of all installed formulae and casks.

1. brew update
2. Upgrades installed packages based on many configuration settings
3. brew autoremove
4. brew cleanup

The settings allow for a variety of options including:

• Excluding specific formulae/casks from being upgraded
• Running brew upgrade with the --greedy flag
• Opening casks after upgrading with open -a {cask}
• Removing specific casks from MacOS quarantine
• Select which available formulae/casks to upgrade

Installation

It is recommended to use PIPX to install this package.

pipx install brewup

If pipx is not an option, you can install Brewup in your Python user directory.

python -m pip install --user brewup

Note: brewup requires Python >= v3.10.

Usage

Upgrade available formulae/casks:

brewup

Include formulae and casks that are excluded in the configuration file:

brewup --all

Select which formulae/casks to upgrade:

brewup --select

See all available upgrades but don't upgrade anything:

brewup --list

Only formulae/casks that are excluded in the configuration file:

brewup --excluded

Configuration

On first run, an empty configuration file will be created at ~/Library/Application Support/brewup/config.toml. This file can be edited to customize the behavior of brewup.

# Configuration for brewup

# Target location for Applications, mimics --appdir. If empty, uses default
# app_dir = ""

# List of packages to exclude from updates
exclude_updades = []

# Update all casks, even if they auto-update
greedy_casks = false

# Full path to `brew` if not in $PATH
# homebrew_command = ""

# List of casks to open after updating
no_quarantine = []
