nb upgrade

nb upgrade [OPTIONS] [FORMULAS]...

With no names, upgrades everything that is outdated. Pinned formulae are kept (see nb pin).

Options

FlagMeaning
-s, --build-from-sourceBuild from source instead of using bottles
--no-linkDo not create symlinks after installation
--require-shaRefuse a cask without a checksum
--no-binariesLeave out the casks’ binaries
--language <LANGUAGE>Not supported: casks install in their default language
--auto-initInitialize without prompting
-v, --verboseIncrease output verbosity
-q, --quietSuppress output, only show errors

It accepts the same cask directory flags as nb install (--appdir, --fontdir and so on).

Examples

nb upgrade nb upgrade jq

Differences from brew

Casks that update themselves (auto_updates) are upgraded only when you name them.
