topgrade-rs/topgrade — Upgrade all the things
Description and use
Topgrade is a fast, cross‑platform command‑line utility written in Rust that automates the update and upgrade process for a wide range of software, package managers, and system tools. By detecting the host environment and invoking the appropriate package managers (e.g., apt, brew, cargo, npm, pip, etc.), it lets users keep their entire development stack up‑to‑date with a single topgrade command. The project is open‑source, highly configurable, and aims to simplify routine maintenance for developers and sysadmins.
