Running a 'brew upgrade' as we speak. Just checked, Terminal is still running it.

Any opinions on BrewUI vs CaskHub (or similar)? I quite like the look of CaskHub, and my first impression of BrewUI (from Homebrew's site) was "ew, no dark mode?". I'm not sure if that's accurate and they only had the one screenshot, so maybe there is a dark mode, but it didn't exactly put its best foot forward. I will say I appreciate its minimalist design. But I have CaskHub and that works great, so no need to add a second GUI for it here. But a good step for those who don't have a GUI for it and may be less comfortable with the Terminal and/or would like a visual representation of apps it's offering.

Thanks for the notification! I use it primarily for yt-dlp, so not a brew power user. While looking into the update I realized it was installed in the wrong place.

Mine was in /user/local instead of /opt/homebrew for Mac silicon. I’m not sure how that happened but I uninstalled, deleted the local folder and reinstalled 7.0, along with ffmpeg and yt-dlp. Working well now. :)
