topgrade

topgrade [--only steps] [--disable steps] [-y] [--dry-run] [options]

topgrade updates everything on your system with a single command. It detects installed package managers, language tools, and applications, running their update commands in sequence.
Supported systems include: OS packages (apt, pacman, brew, dnf, zypper), programming languages (rustup, pip, npm, gem, cargo), containers (docker, flatpak, snap), and applications (firmware, vim plugins, etc.).
Detection is automatic - topgrade checks what's installed and runs appropriate updates. Missing tools are silently skipped. This enables using one config across different machines.
Configuration (~/.config/topgrade.toml) controls behavior: which steps to disable, custom commands to run, and step-specific settings. The --only and --disable flags override config for single runs.
The tool shows what it's updating with colored output. Failures are reported but don't necessarily stop other updates. Retry logic handles transient issues.
Cleanup mode removes old package versions and caches, reclaiming disk space after updates.

topgrade was created by Rafael Fernández López (r12f) around 2018. Written in Rust, it addresses the challenge of remembering update commands for multiple package managers. The project has grown to support an extensive list of tools and platforms.
