topgrade 10.2.5

Upgrade all the things
Documentation

Introduction

Note This is a fork of topgrade by r-darwish to keep it maintained.

Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers. This results in big, non-portable shell one-liners saved in your shell. To remedy this, Topgrade detects which tools you use and runs the appropriate commands to update them.

Installation

Packaging status

Other systems users can either use cargo install or the compiled binaries from the release page. The compiled binaries contain a self-upgrading feature.

Topgrade requires Rust 1.60 or above.

Usage

Just run topgrade.

Visit the documentation at topgrade-rs.github.io for more information.

Warning Work in Progress

Customization

See config.example.toml for an example configuration file.

Configuration Path

The configuration should be placed in the following paths depending on the operating system:

  • Windows - %APPDATA%/topgrade.toml
  • macOS and other Unix systems - ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/topgrade.toml

Remote Execution

You can specify a key called remote_topgrades in the configuration file. This key should contain a list of hostnames that have Topgrade installed on them. Topgrade will use ssh to run topgrade on remote hosts before acting locally. To limit the execution only to specific hosts use the --remote-host-limit parameter.

Contribution Guidelines

  • Check if your code passes cargo fmt and cargo clippy.
  • Check if your code is self explanatory, if not it should be documented by comments.
  • Make a pull request to the dev branch for new features or to the bug-fixes branch for bug fixes.

Roadmap

  • Add a proper testing framework to the code base.
  • Add unit tests for package managers.
  • Split up code into more maintainable parts, eg. putting every linux package manager in a own submodule of linux.rs.
