The command "brew outdated" is used in the Homebrew package manager for macOS. It is used to list all the outdated packages installed on your system.
When you install packages using Homebrew, it keeps track of the versions of those packages. The "brew outdated" command compares the installed versions of packages with the latest available versions in the Homebrew repository. It then displays a list of packages that have newer versions available.
This command allows you to easily identify which packages on your system need to be updated. By running "brew outdated", you can see if there are any updates available and decide whether you want to update them or not.
