Add it in Homebrew?

[piotr-yuxuan]

Hiya there, Thanks for that tool which sounds promising and fun :-) Have you ever thought about releasing it on Homebrew?

Hi, @piotr-yuxuan 👋

My pleasure! If this tool starts getting some use out there in the real world, I'd love to release on Homebrew! Congratulations on being the first to open a ticket in the repo! Woot! 🍾

@zachcurry The homebrew-core repository only accepts programs that can be built from source. So you should probably populate this repo with some sources. However, homebrew-cask might be a better bet and a better fit.

@ylluminarious I'm working on adding support for Linux and it's transitioning to being built from source. 'Cask might be a good fit for distributing the DMG, but I've not looked into it yet. The more discussion we have around this sort of thing the better. Thanks @ylluminarious !

And I'll try to push this new branch I'm working within the next several hours so y'all can get in there.

[ylluminarious]

@zachcurry Thanks! That sounds great!

@ylluminarious @piotr-yuxuan could you help me test/review this pull request?

[zachcurry]

@ylluminarious you were right about Homebrew not making sense for this repository! I had a chance to look into it yesterday and what you've said makes total sense now.

I've had a look at how vim-anywhere handles installation and updates and I think it would be best if we take a similar approach. Thoughts on this?

Thanks again @ylluminarious !

@zachcurry No problem! I think that doing things like that would be fine, although you could still create a homebrew formula in this repo that can be tapped by homebrew users. Whatever you like best.

@ylluminarious I like the idea of adding a formula to the repo. I'll defer to you on this matter since I know close to nothing about Homebrew.
