brew homebrew

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.

Homebrew

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 brew update && brew upgrade `brew outdated`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 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. It allows us to manage the dependencies in an automated manner.

• To update all apps run: mas upgrade
• To list all outdated apps run: mas outdated
