This should be added to Homebrew.

I would love to but brew acceptable formulae specify that the formulae should be known (and 14 stars is not a lot).

PS : Sorry for the late reply didn's see your post

It doesn't have to be in homebrew-core to be brew installable, right? What if we did a tap?

If it’s on GitHub, users can install any of your formulae with brew install user/repo/formula. Homebrew will automatically add your github.com/user/homebrew-repo tap before installing the formula. user/repo/formula points to the github.com/user/homebrew-repo/**/formula.rb file here.

- via docs.brew.sh

This way, homebrew can help it get known :)

I ended up setting up a tap for my own purposes over here.

Which means you can install it like this:

brew install ticky/utilities/icd

It’ll install the current tagged version by default, and also supports --head to get the absolute latest.

Might be worth setting up a tap of its own, though. I’d be okay with the formula I’ve assembled to be taken as the basis for an official one, under the license of the project itself (or quite probably others, but I’d rather be asked first then!)
