'brew tap tobi/try' fails

Open nnutter opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

This has already been reported and a workaround provided in https://github.com/tobi/try/issues/59 but the actual problem has not been fixed.

A couple solutions:

  1. Rename the repo to homebrew-try in order to be compliant with Homebrew conventions.

  2. Update the README.md to document the correct Homebrew installation,

    brew tap tobi/try https://github.com/tobi/try
    brew install try
    
❯ brew tap tobi/try

==> Auto-updating Homebrew...
Adjust how often this is run with `$HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` or disable with
`$HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1`. Hide these hints with `$HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS=1` (see `man brew`).
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
==> Updated Homebrew from 3b5b4903b0 to c3790fc6e4.
Updated 4 taps (sst/tap, charmbracelet/tap, homebrew/core and homebrew/cask).
==> New Formulae
ctre: Compile-time PCRE-compatible regular expression matcher for C++
==> New Casks
elgato-studio: Capture and manage Elgato devices for content creation
opencode-desktop: AI coding agent desktop client

You have 3 outdated formulae installed.

in addition to this, there's also the checksum issue -

I'd consider the checksum issue separate and it's really tied to using tags/versions in the formula.
