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 di lunedì mattina di:
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup
Questo mi aggiorna su Homebrew, quindi su tutte le mie birre installate e quindi libera spazio su disco rimuovendo le vecchie birre a cui non si fa più riferimento. Per le birre che devo conservare in una versione specifica, le uso brew pin
per tenerle lì, così posso ancora eseguire questa semplice catena a tre comandi per aggiornare tutto il resto intorno ai pacchetti appuntati.
brew clean
