Homebrew Tap

A custom Homebrew tap for personal use.

Add the tap

The repository developing-tools/homebrew-tap has the short tap name developing-tools/tap.

brew tap developing-tools/tap

Install packages

Install a formula:

brew install developing-tools/tap/FORMULA_NAME

Install a cask:

brew install --cask developing-tools/tap/CASK_NAME

For example, install Alacritty with:

brew install --cask developing-tools/tap/alacritty

When a formula provides a compatible bottle, Homebrew selects and installs it automatically. Otherwise, Homebrew builds the formula from source.

macOS support

This tap currently aims to support the two most recent major macOS releases. If you encounter an issue on another macOS version, please open an issue with the relevant details, and we will be happy to consider it on a case-by-case basis.

Repository layout

• Casks/ contains macOS application definitions.
• Formula/ contains source-build package definitions when formulae are added.
• Bottle metadata lives in the corresponding formula's bottle do block; bottle archives are published as release or package assets rather than committed to the source tree.

The packages currently available are defined by the Ruby files in those directories. See the contribution guide to add or update one.

Uninstall packages
