Last active February 4, 2024 17:29
Upgrade outdated brew casks. One liner, and the ”official” way to do it without using different hacks or scripts. However, it does not really replace some scripts out there, as in-app updates is not seen by Homebrew.
# Upgrade / Update outdated casks installed.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Looks for outdated casks and installs the the latest version.
# User data (like application preferences) is intact.
# Updated one liner (thanks Henrik242)

brew upgrade $(brew outdated --cask --greedy --quiet)

Bash Profile aliases to force upgrade web browsers installed via Homebrew cask.
# Info: This only works on browsers installed with brew cask.
# For use in your .bash_profile .functions, .alias or whatever you want.
# Wrap it up in a function instead. Looks nicer.
# Brew don't recongnize in-app updates. So, either use in-app (faster updates) or cask reinstall.
# Remove your browsers manually (your preferences still there), and install them again with:
# brew cask install google-chrome google-chrome-canary opera opera-beta opera-developer opera-neon vivaldi webkit-nightly firefox firefoxdeveloperedition
