To update vcpkg itself and the installed packages, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a PowerShell terminal in your vcpkg directory.
  2. Update vcpkg by running the following command:
.\vcpkg update

This will fetch the latest changes from the vcpkg repository.

To update your installed packages, run:

.\vcpkg upgrade

vcpkg will check for available updates and upgrade the packages to their latest versions.

It's recommended to regularly update vcpkg and your packages to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features.
