## What it is
Topgrade is a Rust CLI tool that detects which package managers and updatable tools are installed on a system and runs the appropriate upgrade commands for all of them. It replaces ad-hoc shell one-liners with a single portable command to keep an entire system up to date.

## Use cases
- update all package managers with one command
- keep my linux system fully up to date
- upgrade brew, npm, cargo, and pip packages together
- replace my shell alias of update one-liners
- automate system-wide updates on macos and windows
- detect installed tools and upgrade them automatically

## When to choose
- you use many package managers and want one unified update command
- you want a cross-platform updater for linux, macos, and windows
- you want automatic detection of installed updatable tools

## When to avoid
- you only use a single package manager with a built-in upgrade command
- you need fine-grained control over each package manager's update flags
- you want a GUI update manager

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
