@rmondello Then you run
```
% brew upgrade yt-dlp
```

and you got:
```
Error: This command updates brew itself, and does not take formula names.
Use `brew update yt-dlp` instead.
```

@rmondello have you seen how fucking angry brew gets when you run it on a prerelease OS? It’s so user-hostile.

@rmondello same dang behavior when trying to exit the Python repl and the GNU help flag. You know what I meant, just do it.

@rmondello Over on Linux people have reached the point that they have written... this: https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck 🤣

@rmondello Claude do vaguely what I want to type but don’t want to type enough to actually type

@rmondello

I hate it too. So I fixed it.

brew() {
if [ "$1" = "update" ]; then
shift
command brew upgrade "$@"
elif [ "$1" = "update-brew" ]; then
shift
command brew update "$@"
elif [ "$1" = "upgrade-brew" ]; then
shift
command brew update "$@"
else
command brew "$@"
fi
}

@rmondello brew upgrate aliased to upgrade || update

@rmondello I appreciate the Arcanist tool from old-school Phabricator, which would perform the task you were intending if you typo'd:

$ arc lnit
(Assuming "lnit" is the British spelling of "lint".)
...

Haven't seen a tool that does such a common-sense thing before or since.

@rmondello `brew update` is to update brew and its package metadata;

`brew upgrade <packagename>` is to upgrade a package.

@rmondello You and every other @homebrew user trips over this.

I did it yesterday for the upteenth zillion time. I keep telling myself it's a … fun quirk.

Finally, I have added the Moon Child theme to my Music library. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p-Gfyhlc2g
