Homebrew formula?

Open vergenzt opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Would make it easier to install to try it out for the folks who use Homebrew (such as myself). (eget downloads to current directory or to a manually-specified path, & doesn't keep track of what was download -- e.g. for later upgrading or for recording in a dotfiles repo. And go install github.com/zyedidia/knit/cmd/knit@latest took a full minute to run.) I'm very interested in using this and was about to make a one-off Makefile for a simple auto-generated file in my dotfiles, but remembered about Knit so decided to try it out! A non-standard (for me) installation method almost turned me away to try it another day.

Totally up to you, but figured I'd share my thought process. 🙂

A homebrew formula would make sense but it would have to be a tap for now I think. Eget should download to EGET_BIN (if set), and you can always manually download from the releases page, but I can see how these options are worse than homebrew.
