Brew Cask Outdated
by Benjamin Gandon © 2015-2023
Depreciation notice
With recent versions of Homebrew, the output of this script is very similar to
what you will obtain with brew outdated --cask --greedy.
Overview
Homebrew Cask is fantastic.
One annoying thing with it though, has been it's inability to tell you which
software could be updated. Homebrew provides a brew outdated command, but
God knows why, there were no similar brew cask outdated. This has been
driving me crazy, so I've decided to write this simple script. It does this
very specific job and that's all. The output was very similar to the one
provided by brew outdated when I created it.
Install
Run these commands in a terminal:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bgandon/brew-cask-outdated/master/brew-cask-outdated.sh > /usr/local/bin/brew-cask-outdated
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/brew-cask-outdated
If you know what it's about, please check that it's correct for your setup. If you don't, it doesn't matter. It shall work anyway.
