There isn't a built-in flag yet. Starting with pip version 22.3, the --outdated and --format=freeze have become mutually exclusive. Use Python, to parse the JSON output:
Copypip --disable-pip-version-check list --outdated --format=json | python -c "import json, sys; print('\n'.join([x['name'] for x in json.load(sys.stdin)]))" | xargs -n1 pip install -U
If you are using pip<22.3 you can use:
Copypip list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
For older versions of pip:
Copypip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U

Note: there are infinite potential variations for this. I'm trying to keep this answer short and simple, but please do suggest variations in the comments!

To upgrade all local packages, you can install pip-review:
Copy$ pip install pip-review
After that, you can either upgrade the packages interactively:
Copy$ pip-review --local --interactive
Or automatically:
Copy$ pip-review --local --auto
pip-review is a fork of pip-tools. See pip-tools issue mentioned by @knedlsepp. pip-review package works but pip-tools package no longer works. pip-review is looking for a new maintainer.
pip-review works on Windows since version 0.5.
how do you upgrade all outdated pip packages?
How can I automatically install all the pip packages used by a Python script?
How can i upgrade all the installed pip packages using one line of code with as less as possible characters?
Update All Python Packages

pip freeze -o > requirements.txt
output:
Usage: pip freeze [options] no such option: -o
i want to convert all the outdated pip packages to a requirements format and contain it into requirements.txt.
With pip there isn't a concept of 'newest stable' as there is in Debian/Ubuntu.
The 'newest stable' packages in Debian/Ubuntu are tested to work correctly with all the other packages in the distribution.
With pip, you can upgrade all the python modules, but you will upgrade all the modules to the latest version available in the repository. It will be your responsibility to verify that everything still continues to work. There may be issues due to new bugs or incompatible changes.
Because of that never upgrade the OS provided python modules with pip (option: --system) unless you're ready to repair the possible breakage.
It can make a lot of sense to upgrade all the modules installed in your user environment, or better inside a virtual environment. The command should be:
pip freeze | awk '{print $1}' | xargs pip install -U
For users of different distributions and other cases, check:
pip help install
since the default behavior (no --user or --system options) changes from Debian derivatives to standard python.
I've tested this on pip2 and pip3 with success although I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it.
pip freeze | sed 's/==.*//' | xargs pip install -U
You may like to add --user after pip freeze and pip install if you only want to upgrade packages installed to your user account instead of the system. If you're upgrading system Python packages you'll need to run the pip install with sudo otherwise you'll likely hit a permission denied error.
I wonder how to automatically install all the pip packages used by a Python script. I know one can run:
pip install pipreqs pipreqs . pip install -r requirements.txt
But that fails to capture all packages and all proper packages versions.
Instead, I'd like some more solid solution that try to run the Python script, catch missing package errors and incorrect package versions such as:
ImportError: peft>=0.17.0 is required for a normal functioning of this module, but found peft==0.14.0.
install these packages accordingly and retry run the Python script until it works or caught in a loop.
I use Ubuntu.
Since version 1.3, pip features a new command:
$ pip list --outdated
requests (Current: 1.1.0 Latest: 1.2.0)
See this post for more information.
Simple output:
pip list --outdated

See also docs on pip list --outdated option.
Pretty output:
pip install pip-check
pip-check

» pip install pip
