BrewUpdates

Get the number of Brew Packages to update, just like you've experienced from Ubuntu


BrewUpdate is a simple utility written in Go, notify you how many packages to update every time when you execute the terminal.

This project is currently in progress, so the following features cannot work as expected.

The key features are:

  • Fast: Caching the packages to update
    • The execution time of brew update; brew outdated: 7.42 seconds
    • The execution best time of brew-updates (cached): 271.91 millis - approximately 27x faster
  • Easy: Simply downloadable using brew
  • Easy to setup: Just by specifying what shell you use, the setup can be done
  • Friendly: The apt-like notifications from brew

Example

When you open terminal in ubuntu, you can see the following: SSH-connected ubuntu screenshot

When you have installed BrewUpdates, you can see the following: demo

You can do the similar thing with the brew update; brew upgrade command, which takes a few seconds.

With the BrewUpdates, your update history will be recorded locally so you don't have to wait for a few seconds to get result.


Installation
