I type 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒖𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 to update everything on my Mac.

💻 Keeping your macOS system clean and up-to-date doesn’t have to be a chore. If you're a Homebrew user, here's a one-liner I use to update everything in one shot—CLI tools, apps, and even Mac App Store installs:

brew update && brew upgrade && brew cu --all --yes --cleanup && mas upgrade && brew cleanup

✅ This command:
• Updates Homebrew and formulae
• Upgrades all installed packages
• Updates all cask applications
• Upgrades Mac App Store apps
• Cleans up old versions and cached files

To streamline the process, I added it as an alias in my terminal config. Here’s how you can do it too (for Zsh):

echo "alias brewupdate='brew update && brew upgrade && brew cu --all --yes --cleanup && mas upgrade && brew cleanup'" >> ~/.zshrc

source ~/.zshrc

Now I just type brewupdate whenever I want to do a full system refresh. Fast, clean, and efficient.

📦 Tools used:
• Homebrew
• mas-cli
• brew-cask-upgrade

Always happy to swap tips!
