Homebrew support
Goal
- As a user
- I want to install and get updates in macOS by package manager
Suggested approach In order to achieve this goal I suggest:
- if you use some release manager check to support this feature
- use some script for generating homebrew formula
- create formula manualy
Additional context
- https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook
Very well, big fan and user of Homebew here. Please note that https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Formulae states: We frown on authors submitting their own work unless it is very popular. - so if you would submit such a Formula I'd happy to support it.
Oh, yes, I forgot about the popularity of packages. We can use Taps for support custom packages. This will require an extra step in the installation, but it will work as expected.
You need to create additional repository for Taps formulars, like https://github.com/thingsapi/homebrew-tap For example - https://github.com/dotzero/homebrew-tap, i think i can try create Formula for things-cli if necessary
For future reference (as this should be integrated into our GitHub Actions based release): https://extrawurst.medium.com/github-actions-homebrew-%EF%B8%8F-2789ae5023fd
