try on your machine

The command "topgrade --only ${operation}" is used to run the Topgrade tool with a specific operation.

Topgrade is an open-source utility that is used to upgrade all software packages on your system. It automatically detects which software packages can be upgraded and performs the necessary operations to update them.

In the given command, "${operation}" is a placeholder for a specific operation that you want to perform using Topgrade. You need to replace "${operation}" with a valid operation keyword. For example, you might use "--cheat" to update cheat sheets, "--brew" for updating Homebrew packages on macOS, or "--rust" to update Rust programming language tools.

By using the "--only" flag, you instruct Topgrade to perform only the specified operation and skip others. This is helpful when you want to update a particular package or perform a specific task without updating everything.

In summary, the "topgrade --only ${operation}" command allows you to run the Topgrade tool and perform a specific operation, updating only the relevant packages or components.
