In most cases you are probably going to pull new software via brew install <package name>. If you do not know the exact package name, use brew search <package name> to see if Homebrew is able to pull that for you.

Other commands:

• brew upgrade <package name> upgrades a single package by the given name
• brew uninstall <package name> removes a single package by the given name
• brew update updates Homebrew itself
• brew list outputs list of already installed packages
