Mint is just awesome, but I think that the package update part can be improved. In particular:

  1. There is no command (or I don’t know one) that can update all outdated packages (just mint update would be nice).
  2. When you type mint update, you need to provide full package name (for example, mint update jakeheis/Ice), but mint list shows the name without the author name (so just Ice in this example).

My proposal is also to rename mint update to more Homebrew-like mint upgrade, but that’s totally up to you. I can try to resolve first two mentioned issues and submit a PR if you’re okay with that. Just let me know!

Sounds good. Feel free to open some PR’s.

In terms of the name, neither update or upgrade really communicates what it does. To do a normal update you can just run install without a version and if there’s a newer version it will install that. The current update is just sort of a re-install. I was even thinking of removing it and have a —force or —reinstall flag to force a new build.
Maybe it could then be repurposed into an update all as you suggest
