Scoop: Make "all" a wildcard alias like "*"

Created on 4 Oct 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: lukesampson/scoop

For people comfortable with Chocolatey, choco update all is a pretty common phrase.

Could scoop support all as another wildcard like * (which feels weird to type on a shell as I might expect some kind of globbing.) (Or maybe just a help message?)

Right now you get:

>scoop update all
'all' isn't installed.

You could add an alias so it's simliar to apt and brew:

位 scoop alias add upgrade "scoop update *"
位 scoop update
位 scoop upgrade

+1, when I see * on the command line I tend to interpret it as "all files in the current directory", which is obviously not the case here.

Nice, I guess that will do :)

Everything after update is a package, so rather than 

scoop update all

I'd say make it

scoop update --all
