About:
Topgrade is a command-line utility that simplifies the process of updating software packages across multiple package managers and systems. It automatically detects available update tools like Homebrew, apt, cargo, and others, then runs them sequentially to ensure your entire environment is up to date. This streamlines system maintenance by replacing the need to run multiple update commands manually.
Key Features:
  • Automatic detection of installed package managers
  • Supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL)
  • Runs multiple update tools in a single command
  • Configurable via environment variables or config file
Use Cases:
  • Performing comprehensive system updates without remembering multiple package manager commands
  • Automating environment maintenance in development workflows
Alternatives:
  • pacaptr – Pacaptr mimics pacman syntax across package managers, while Topgrade focuses on orchestrating existing update tools.
  • Manual scripting – Custom shell scripts can achieve similar results but require maintenance and lack Topgrade's built-in manager detection.
