Useful commands:
brew update
brew outdated #(should brew update first!)
brew upgrade <name>
Note: updating postgres in particular is annoying because it requires a convenience symlink to be updated to point to the new version folder. You can use readlink -f <linkname>
to show where the symlink points to, such as readlink /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@13/bin
. To update the symlink, change it like this: ln -sfn /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@13/13.8_2/bin /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@13/bin
