Are you aware that `brew cask upgrade` exists? #115

You say in the README (emphasis mine):

Homebrew Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to the installation and management of GUI macOS applications and large binaries alike, but it lacks a sub-command like brew upgrade to upgrade installed apps, so if you want to upgrade the installed apps, you have to delete the previous versions and re-install the latest version manually for every single app.

Are you aware that brew cask upgrade has been live and working for months?

You can also update all apps that are "auto update enabled" and using "latest" version tag using brew cask upgrade --greedy

Blackskyliner commented 5 years ago

Well --greedy (re)installs all packages even if there is no update. So with this matter in mind brew cu -ya`` andbrew cask upgrade``` will not do quite the same. So in my eyes the upgrade the cast brings with it is not suitable for a daily update chorus.

Though the differencies between those two possible methods should be stated in the README.

@vitorgalvao Yes we are aware and we were already discussing it with @reitermarkus in https://github.com/buo/homebrew-cask-upgrade/issues/95

The readme is definitely outdated, there I have to agree. This extension of brew cask upgrade brings some visual changes and also some capabilities that we like 🙂 (i.e. it is interactive, where all commands in brew are meant to be non-interactive, we can choose which apps to update and which not, also if they have auto-update, are of "latest" type, etc.)
