Install via homebrew

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

As a macos user homebrew is my preferred method of installing applications. Seeing an npm install command gave me hesitation on whether or not it was worth installing due to how messy the whole node dependency management system is.

Looks like somebody's done most of the work as a tap:

It'd be nice to have an official one though.

I wouldn't think of that as a Homebrew formulae, it's using NPM to install – a package manager using another package manager... For instance, Claude Code's formulae pulls the binary directly from the official repo.

yeah... i love his work but seems like we need to rely on him to manually push updates? this is not sustainable and only works for as long as he keeps doing it...

Closing this out since the CLI is now available on Homebrew:

brew install copilot-cli
