+Software can come from several different sources:
+1. App Store
+2. Just downloaded from the Web
+3. Homebrew
+4. built locally
+
+Whenever possible I use `brew` to manage software and its dependencies on my mac.

+### Cheatsheat
+1.  ```brew update && brew upgrade `brew outdated` ```
+2. `brew upgrade && brew upgrade --cask`
+   Upgrades all packages that have been installed through brew.
+### Autoupdate
+My mac uses brew to autoupdate every 24 hours.
+I used the the [autoupdate package](https://github.com/DomT4/homebrew-autoupdate) and the following command for this:
+`brew autoupdate start 86400 --upgrade --cleanup --immediate --sudo`
+
+## App Store
+In order to automate the app store interactions there is a command line interface (CLI) called [mas-cli](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas). It allows us to manage the dependencies in an automated manner.
