Debian based full updates in one command

I have this small script deployed on any of my based systems, it just does all the update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, autoremove and autoclean in one run.

#!/bin/sh 

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
  sudo sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get update && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean"
else
  sudo sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get update && apt-get install $@ && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean"
fi

I have this script deployed in a lazy manner, I just have it sitting in my users home folder and called it “up”, I did do a “chmod +x up” and just start it like this:

~/up

It also accepts one several package names as an arguments and that be called like this:

sudo ~/up package1,package2

This will then install “package1” and “package2”.

I am not sure where I found this, but I surely did find this somewhere in the internet and just took it from there, you thanks to who ever put this together.
