So the issue with mason update is, it doesn't work if a user has installed mason using brew. I am planning to create a package(brew_updater) similar to pub_updater but that will use brew to update an existing dependency. What do you think?

Good catch! Yeah that seems reasonable. We’ll also need to have logic to determine whether the mason installation was done through pub or brew in order to determine which mechanism to use for update checks.

Perfect! I will create a PR soon 😃 . Thanks for your input.
