You might want to cleanup and call the doctor just in case. :-)

  brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup; brew doctor

And no need for `brew update` unless you've turned automatic updates off.

It has a timeframe, though, so while it does automatically update every so often, it’s not every time you run `upgrade` or `install`, so running the `brew update` makes sure your OCD matches your needs.

Similar, just without the `doctor`. That one I only run it like once a month. For the other one, I got my alias, haha:

I always do:

brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup && brew autoremove

What about brew upgrade --cask for apps?
