Update homebrew in OS X Mavericks

#homebrew
#bash
#mavericks

Error: 

*Warning: You are using Mac OS X 10.9.*

Solution:

First update the formulae and Homebrew itself:

brew update

You can now find out what is outdated with:

brew outdated

Upgrade everything packages with:

brew upgrade

Or upgrade a specific formula with:

brew upgrade $FORMULA

brew --prefix

probably /usr/local

git remote add origin https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew.git
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git update --force

I had to perform the above to get brew back on track for me.
