Scripts for updating packages for homebrew, rust, python, bun, ruby, lua & perl, and for pruning the leaves every package manager collects. All scripts are macOS & homebrew specific.
Update, upgrade and cleanup homebrew packages.
Update rust cargo
Update python3 packages
Update bun's global node packages. Lists any installed with npm instead, which bun never sees.
Updates rubygems and the gems installed on top of homebrew's ruby. The gems that ship with ruby are left to homebrew.
Removes copies of the gems that ship with ruby that an old gem update installed beside them, plus leftovers of failed installs and extensions built for a previous macOS. Run by hand, -n only lists.
Updates lua rocks. Rocks installed for a previous lua are installed for the current one first.
Updates perl packages with cpanminus and cpan-outdated
Update homebrew, rust, python, bun, ruby, lua and perl at once. Runs brewup, rustup, pipup, nodeup, gemup, luaup and perlup.
The update scripts only ever add packages. Each package manager has a *prune script that lists its leaves, the installed packages nothing else depends on, and asks about each one: keep (the default), remove, skip, or show details. Kept names are remembered in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uptools/<group>.keep and never asked about or removed again; skipped ones are asked about next time. The chosen packages are removed, and the leaves that reveals are removed too when the package manager knows they were only ever installed as dependencies, or asked about otherwise.
Every pruner takes the same flags: -n lists the leaves and exits, -p reviews the kept names first (unprotect, remove, or drop entries that are no longer installed), -a asks about every revealed leaf, -y removes every revealed leaf without asking. Packages the update scripts themselves rely on are protected and shown as built-in.
Casks, then formulae. Uses brew leaves, brew autoremove for the dependencies a removal orphans, and brew tab --installed-on-request so that a kept dependency is never autoremoved.
Packages in ~/.venv. Builds the dependency graph itself so that packages wanted by an installed extra count as needed, and uses pip's record of which packages were asked for to decide which revealed leaves go without asking.
npm's global packages, then bun's if there are any.
Gems installed on top of homebrew's ruby. The gems that ship with ruby and rubygems-update are left alone.
Lua rocks, those of a previous lua included: they are listed as name@X.Y so the old tree can go once luaup has installed them for the current lua.
CPAN distributions installed with cpanminus, graphed from the metadata it writes. Upgraded copies of core modules are left alone.
Crates installed with cargo install.
Binaries in $GOBIN.
Runs every pruner, language package managers first and homebrew last. pruneall -p then upall is the yearly audit.
Install homebrew versions of rust, python, node, bun, ruby, lua and perl as well as tools for updating rust, python and perl. Copy or symlink the updater and pruner scripts to /usr/local/bin/ Optionally installs symlinks to this cloned directory with -l parameter
$ ./install -l
$ upall
