Homebrew updates and app self updates


How does homebrew/cask's updates work if the app auto updates itself.

Example: Chrome or Firefox

These two apps auto update themselves.

But what happens when you run a brew update?

Does it detect that it is already updated or does it check an internal list of apps it installed (misses that it is already updated) and reupdates the app>


Solution

  • No. There is no brew cask upgrade.
