brew upgrade Install newer versions of outdated packages

You can update outdated packages with any of the following:

  • brew upgrade
  • brew install `brew outdated`
  • brew outdated | xargs brew install

1 To delete a specific version, just go to the folder in the Cellar and rm -rf it; alternatively, drag it to the trash in Finder.

2 Homebrew tries to guess the formula name and version. If it fails, you’ll have to make your own template. I suggest copying wget ’s.

3 Symlinking is automatically performed when installing formulae. It’s useful for DIY installation, or swapping out versions of a package you have multiple installs of.

4 This is generally not needed. However, it can be useful if you are doing DIY installations.

This page was waaay too hard to find. Every page / readme / tutorial about homebrew is just how to install the damn thing, not how to use it.
