Brew upgrade --help

Usage: brew upgrade [options] [outdated_formula|outdated_cask ...]

Upgrade outdated casks and outdated, unpinned formulae using the same options they were originally installed with, plus any appended brew formula options. If cask or formula are specified, upgrade only the given cask or formula kegs (unless they are pinned; see pin, unpin).

Unless HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALLED_DEPENDENTS_CHECK is set, brew upgrade or brew reinstall will be run for outdated dependents and dependents with broken linkage, respectively.

Unless HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP is set, brew cleanup will then be run for the upgraded formulae or, every 30 days, for all formulae.

 -d, --debug                      If brewing fails, open an interactive
                                  debugging session with access to IRB or a
                                  shell inside the temporary build directory.
 -f, --force                      Install formulae without checking for
                                  previously installed keg-only or non-migrated
                                  versions. When installing casks, overwrite
                                  existing files (binaries and symlinks are
                                  excluded, unless originally from the same
                                  cask).
 -v, --verbose                    Print the verification and postinstall steps.
 -n, --dry-run                    Show what would be upgraded, but do not
                                  actually upgrade anything.
     --formula, --formulae        Treat all named arguments as formulae. If no
                                  named arguments are specified, upgrade only
                                  outdated formulae.
 -s, --build-from-source          Compile formula from source even if a
                                  bottle is available.
 -i, --interactive                Download and patch formula, then open a
                                  shell. This allows the user to run
                                  ./configure --help and otherwise determine
                                  how to turn the software package into a
                                  Homebrew package.
     --force-bottle               Install from a bottle if it exists for the
                                  current or newest version of macOS, even if
                                  it would not normally be used for
                                  installation.
     --fetch-HEAD                 Fetch the upstream repository to detect if
                                  the HEAD installation of the formula is
                                  outdated. Otherwise, the repository's HEAD
                                  will only be checked for updates when a new
                                  stable or development version has been
                                  released.
     --ignore-pinned              Set a successful exit status even if pinned
                                  formulae are not upgraded.
     --keep-tmp                   Retain the temporary files created during
                                  installation.
     --debug-symbols              Generate debug symbols on build. Source will
                                  be retained in a cache directory.
     --display-times              Print install times for each package at the
                                  end of the run.
     --cask, --casks              Treat all named arguments as casks. If no
                                  named arguments are specified, upgrade only
                                  outdated casks.
     --skip-cask-deps             Skip installing cask dependencies.
 -g, --greedy                     Also include casks with auto_updates true
                                  or version :latest.
     --greedy-latest              Also include casks with version :latest.
