All-In-One Mac Update Script 🍎🖥️

Inspired by the article Keeping MacOS Clean.

This Zsh script simplifies the process of updating all your macOS software directly from the Terminal. While it covers many updates, you may want to install mas to manage App Store applications.

Getting Started

Install Script as Alias for Repeat Use

To Download & Execute, Run the following command in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andmpel/MacOS-All-In-One-Update-Script/HEAD/install.sh | zsh

Then Run update from the terminal and it will run the script

Manually Downloading and Running Script

For easy access, save the update-all.sh script to your Mac user's home folder, make it executable, and then run it

USER_SCRIPTS="${HOME}/"
curl -fsSLo "$USER_SCRIPTS/update" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andmpel/MacOS-All-In-One-Update-Script/HEAD/update-all.sh
chmod +x "$USER_SCRIPTS/update"

Now you can run the script anytime by simply typing ./update from your home directory in your terminal

Optional:

Add an alias command to the update script in your .zshrc file

Feel free to edit, or #comment out commands from the update_all() function of the script to skip them
