These drafts are private, but the actual blog posts are either public (already published: some 8k at the time of writing) or queued for publication (some 2 years at the time of writing).

[Wayback/Archive] macos – How can I update everything installed through Homebrew after OSX upgrade? – Ask Different
A
Use the command brew upgrade in the terminal to update all of the packages.
C
brew upgrade --cask not updated my excited packages like Flutter. using brew upgrade --g will be preferred as mentioned in Manpage : –g, –greedy: Also include outdated casks with auto_updates true or version :latest. –greedy-latest: Also include outdated casks including those with version :latest. –greedy-auto-updates: Also include outdated casks including those with auto_updates true.

So, please software developers, use the Unicode characters whenever possible.
Here is a good start
