Supported Managers

yup focuses on package managers that support global package upgrades. Currently supporting 20 managers across platforms.

System Package Managers

brew - Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
port - MacPorts (macOS)
mas - Mac App Store CLI (macOS)
softwareupdate - macOS updates
apt - Debian/Ubuntu (Linux)
dnf - Fedora/RHEL (Linux)
pacman - Arch Linux
flatpak - Flatpak (Linux)
snap - Snap (Linux)
winget - Windows Package Manager
choco - Chocolatey (Windows)
scoop - Scoop (Windows)

Version Managers

mise - Modern polyglot runtime manager (formerly rtx)
conda/mamba - Python/data science environments

Language Package Managers

npm - Global Node.js packages
pnpm - Global Node.js packages
pipx - Python CLI applications (isolated environments)
gem - Ruby gems
rustup - Rust toolchains
cargo - Rust packages (via cargo-update)

Log Files

Logs are stored in platform-appropriate directories:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/yup/
Linux: ~/.local/share/yup/
Windows: %APPDATA%/yup/

Daily rotation with filenames like yup.2026-01-11.log.

Toolchain

This repo pins a Rust toolchain via rust-toolchain.toml. With rustup installed, cargo build and cargo clippy will use the pinned version automatically.

Privilege Handling

Some package managers require root/admin privileges (sudo) to run updates:

Linux: apt, dnf, pacman, snap
macOS: port, mas, softwareupdate

When privileged commands are queued, yup will:

Show [sudo] markers next to commands that need elevation
Prompt for your password once before execution (via sudo -v)
Automatically prepend sudo to those commands

This means you only enter your password once, not for each command.

Requirements

macOS, Linux, or Windows
