How to run multiple brew commands with one line?

Question

I often run the following commands, one after another. I wonder if it can be done with one line?

brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup

Answer 1

To run every command one after another:

brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup

To stop immediately after one of the commands fail:

brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup

This way, if update succeeds, and then upgrade failed, the cleanup will not run.

Both will execute commands from left to right.

Answer 2

Easily done. Just add a semi colon. So....

brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup;

This is the basics of writing your own BASH scripts. You can write complex scripts that are a single line.

echo thanks this is a test; echo ok here is new line, echo run another command here; ls; pwd; echo thanks i rock;
