[Bug] Unclear Documentation: scoop update before update * ?

[falco467]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

The documentation is not absolutely clear if scoop update * will be enough to keep all my apps (including scoop) up to date, or if I regularly have to run scoop update too.

Expected Behavior

I would like for scoop update * to be everything I need to run regularly. Or if this is not enough maybe an argument which will execute the additional steps of scoop update before update * if needed.

Additional context/output

I've read in multiple discussions people being unsure if scoop update * is enough. So the documentation should be absolutely clear if/when scoop update is additionally needed.

Possible Solution

Best solution scoop update * is enough and amend the documentation to clearly state this.
If there is a reason this should not be the default, maybe provide an argument like scoop update * --update-scoop so we have a single command.

If this is also not possible at least amend the documentation with a clear warning about update * not updating scoop and scoop update always being needed additionally.

Running scoop update * should be enough.

Could you point out where the documentation is unclear?

Here it says

To get the latest version of Scoop you have to run the command: scoop update
This will download the latest version of scoop and updates the local app manifests.
After you updated Scoop you can update individual apps: scoop update curl

If you want to update all your installed apps, you can run: scoop update *

---

This implies that I will need to run scoop updated to get the latest version of scoop, since scoop update * only updates "all your installed apps"

Maybe just add an addendum directly after scoop update *: "This will also download the latest version of scoop and app manifests before updating all your installed apps."

"All your installed apps" includes scoop itself, in any means. scoop update will be run by scoop update * every 4 hrs now.

Thank you! I think this bit of information (scoop update * will regularly run scoop update) could be added to the documentation.

For example in this thread about scheduled updates multiple users believe they need to run update before update * #3633
