Topgrade

Purpose: Topgrade detects the tools you use and runs the appropriate commands to update them.
CLI workflow: The project README says to run Topgrade with the `topgrade` command.
Install options: The project lists self-updating binaries and source installation for all platforms, plus package-manager installation options.
Supported operating systems: The release page provides binaries for Apple macOS, Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.
Package integrations: The example configuration includes settings for Arch package managers, DNF, Nix, Homebrew, Flatpak, and Winget.
Git repositories: Topgrade can pull or fetch predefined and user-configured Git repositories, with a setting to choose fetch instead of pull.
Custom commands: Custom commands can be configured to run before, during, or after Topgrade's built-in commands.
Remote execution: Topgrade can use SSH to run Topgrade on configured remote hosts before acting locally.
Configuration: On first run, Topgrade creates a configuration file if one does not already exist, and it also loads and merges files from `topgrade.d`.
Privilege guidance: The example configuration says Topgrade should not be run as root on Unix because it invokes sudo or an equivalent where needed.
Security reporting: The security policy directs vulnerability reports to the repository's Security tab.
Supported versions: The security policy says only the latest Topgrade version is supported and fixes are not backported.
Support and community: The project invites users to open an issue or discussion for questions and provides a Discord server for discussion.
Project history: The repository describes this project as a fork of r-darwish's Topgrade that aims to keep it maintained.
