pixi global upgrade

Upgrade globally installed packages

This command has been removed and replaced with pixi global update.

Migration

The pixi global upgrade command has been removed in favor of pixi global update, which provides more flexibility and better semantics.

Old Command

pixi global upgrade package-name

New Command

pixi global update package-name

Why the Change?

The command was renamed to align with pixi’s terminology:

• update: Update packages within the current version constraints
• upgrade: Change version constraints (e.g., python=3.11 to python=3.12)

For most use cases, you want to update packages, not upgrade their version specifications.
