Add Pre-Upgrade List and Confirmation Prompt for Homebrew (brew_formula and brew_cask)

[ylluminate]

I want to suggest that lists and a confirmation could be useful

It could look something like this:

Which tool is this about?

This specifically applies to Homebrew (brew_formula and brew_cask) within Topgrade but could be extended to other updaters later.

What should Topgrade do?

1. Detect outdated packages using brew outdated --greedy.
2. Display a clear, bullet-point list of outdated brew_formula and brew_cask packages.
3. Prompt the user to confirm upgrades with options for:
   • A single confirmation for all updates.
   • Per-stage confirmations (e.g., brew_formula and brew_cask separately).

Commands for this step:

• Detect outdated packages:

  brew outdated --greedy  

• Upgrade after confirmation as per usual.

Confirmation Options:

• A confirmation prompt (e.g., "Proceed with the updates? (Y/n)").
• A --yes flag for fully automated updates.

More information

This feature improves transparency for Homebrew updates and could later be applied to other updaters like APT or pacman. Testing would ensure compatibility on macOS and Linux, with flexibility for user preferences on single or per-stage confirmations.
