Cask

Homebrew Cask is an extension of Homebrew that lets you install macOS apps (GUI apps) from the terminal — not just command-line tools.

Usage

Instead of:

• going to a website

• downloading a .dmg

• dragging to Applications

You just run:

brew install --cask google-chrome

And it:

• downloads the app

• installs it in /Applications

• keeps it manageable via Brew

To see if an app is available on Cask, search the official Cask website. You can also search using the following command:

brew search <app-name-here>

To update Homebrew and upgrade all installed apps:

brew update && brew upgrade `brew outdated`

Cask Upgrade

Brew Cask Upgrade is a command-line tool for upgrading every outdated app installed by Homebrew Cask.

To install, simply type:

brew tap buo/cask-upgrade

To update all apps in one line:

brew cu -fa
