pubglobalupdate 1.1.1

Helper to install and update global packages (dart pub global activate or dart install), all at once or by package name

pubglobalupdate.dart

Command (Linux/Mac/Windows) to update all current global packages (git, path or hosted) to their latest version, whether they were installed with dart pub global activate or with dart install (Dart 3.10+, the one that supports build hooks).

Activate

Choose one of the following two commands:

$ dart pub global activate pubglobalupdate
$ flutter pub global activate pubglobalupdate

Usage

Usage: pubglobalupdate [<pkg1> <pkg2>...]

By default all packages are updated

Global options:
-h, --help       Usage help
    --version    Display version
-v, --verbose    Verbose
-d, --dry-run    Do not run test, simple show the command executed

Update all current activated packages

$ pubglobalupdate

Update one package

$ pubglobalupdate dhttpd

dart install support

Each package can say which tool installs it, activate (dart pub global activate, the default) or install (dart install):

# saved with the rest of the package config
$ pubglobalupdate --config-package my_tool --source git --git-url https://github.com/me/my_tool --tool install
# one-off
$ pubglobalupdate --install --tool install my_tool
# default for the packages without a configured tool
$ pubglobalupdate --default-tool install
# move an installed package to the other tool (config kept and updated)
$ pubglobalupdate --migrate my_tool
# what is installed with which tool, and a health check
$ pubglobalupdate --list
$ pubglobalupdate --doctor

The tool of an install is resolved in this order: --tool, the config, hooks: true in the config (forces install), the default tool, activate. An update always runs with the tool that owns the package and only prints a --migrate hint when the config asks for the other one, so nothing is uninstalled without being asked.
