topgrade 17.7.0

Upgrade all the things

Introduction

[!NOTE] This is a fork of topgrade by r-darwish to keep it maintained.

Keeping your system up-to-date usually involves invoking multiple package managers. This results in big, non-portable shell one-liners saved in your shell. To remedy this, Topgrade detects which tools you use and runs the appropriate commands to update them.

Configuration Path

CONFIG_DIR on each platform

• Windows: %APPDATA%
• macOS and other Unix systems: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}

topgrade will look for the configuration file in the following places, in order of priority:

1. CONFIG_DIR/topgrade.toml
2. CONFIG_DIR/topgrade/topgrade.toml

If the file with higher priority is present, no matter if it is valid or not, the other configuration files will be ignored.

On the first run (provided that no configuration file exists), topgrade will create a configuration file at CONFIG_DIR/topgrade.toml for you. Any files in CONFIG_DIR/topgrade.d/ are also loaded and merged before the main configuration file.

Custom Commands

Custom commands can be defined in the configuration file, which can be run before, during, or after the inbuilt commands, as required. By default, the custom commands are run using a new shell according to the $SHELL environment variable on Unix (falls back to sh) or pwsh on Windows (falls back to powershell).

On Unix, if you want to run your command using an interactive shell, for example to source your shell's RC files, you can add -i at the start of your custom command. Although note that this requires the command to exit the shell correctly, or else the shell will hang indefinitely.

Remote Execution

You can specify a key called remote_topgrades in the configuration file. This key should contain a list of hostnames that have Topgrade installed on them. Topgrade will use ssh to run topgrade on remote hosts before acting locally. To limit the execution only to specific hosts use the --remote-host-limit parameter.
