Unless HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP is set, brew cleanup will then be run for the upgraded formulae or, every 30 days, for all formulae. // Error: invalid option: --cleanup

Would it make sense to run cleanup before upgrade? Would that keep the least-outdated version remains? I'm guessing this could be useful for emergencies or something, while still ensuring that no old stuff accumulates?

brew upgrade runs brew update before looking for package updates. Thus, brew update is unnecessary.

As brew upgrade is a single command to upgrade all packages, it works well for automation. Optionally, you can pin package versions you want to keep and upgrade the rest all at once.

I dont advise to use brew upgrade but instead to use brew outdated and then upgrade each one of the packages by brew upgrade PACKAGE that way you have more control

brew upgrade --cleanup will remove old packages as new packages are installed.

You don't need to do brew upgrade brew-cask anymore as since this pull request brew update will also now upgrade homebrew-cask automatically.
