Brew Cask Outdated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With recent versions of Homebrew, the output of this script is very similar to what you will obtain with brew outdated --cask --greedy.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 Homebrew provides a brew outdated command, but God knows why, there were no similar brew cask outdated.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 The output was very similar to the one provided by brew outdated when I created it.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curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bgandon/brew-cask-outdated/master/brew-cask-outdated.sh 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 /usr/local/bin/brew-cask-outdated
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/brew-cask-outdated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.

Usage

Just run

brew-cask-outdated

…and see the result.
