I’ve been running into issues when upgrading Docker on my work machine, so I want to prevent Docker from upgrading until I have make time to figure out the issues (or hope that they resolve themselves).

Aside from ignoring the notifications in my company’s self-service portal, some components have been installed by homebrew.

  • brew pin <formula> pins the formula so brew upgrade ignores it.
  • brew list --pinned for if at some point, I want to know which formulas I have pinned.

Credit where credit’s due: stackoverflow.
