brew cleanup [--prune=days] [--dry-run] [-s] [formulae]:
For all installed or specific formulae, remove any older versions from the
cellar. In addition, old downloads from the Homebrew download-cache are deleted.
If --prune=days is specified, remove all cache files older than days.
If --dry-run or -n is passed, show what would be removed, but do not
actually remove anything.
If -s is passed, scrubs the cache, removing downloads for even the latest
versions of formulae. Note downloads for any installed formulae will still not be
deleted. If you want to delete those too: rm -rf $(brew --cache)

Ho un regime del lunedì mattina di:
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup
Questo mi porta ad aggiornarmi su Homebrew, quindi su tutte le mie birre installate e quindi libera lo spazio su disco rimuovendo vecchi tipi di birra che non sono più referenziati. Per i brews che devo mantenere in una versione specifica, utilizzo brew pin
per tenerli lì, quindi posso ancora eseguire questa semplice catena a tre comandi per aggiornare tutto il resto dei pacchetti aggiunti.
