ABOUT

This is a small script that uses dialog to update apt, flatpak, snap and pipx. It also cleans caches from the user's $HOME, such as cargo caches from $HOME/.cargo or Spotify's cache from $HOME/.cache/spotify.

It also appends all action logs into a log file for later review. The log file is at $HOME/uput.log.

USAGE

Usage: uput [option]

  -p      Update native packages
  -s      Update snap packages
  -f      Update flatpak packages
  -x      Update pipx packages
  -c      Run cleanup
  -a      Run all tasks above
  -h      Show help message

When launching with no option, it runs the interactive TUI.
