@MayorFaj - Would the README section labelled Usage with VS Code also need to be updated with the correct JSON configuration to interact with the Homebrew binary installation?
Thanks for this. I don't think we want to recommend this as the paved path, but as an alternative. One option is to add sections for: Docker, Homebrew. It matters because the VSCode install buttons will set the docker version, and that will work cross platform, where brew is not available on all platforms (and even though it is available on linux, is rare).
Using this syntax:
<details>
<summary>Standard installation with Docker</summary>
...
</details>
<details>
<summary>Install with Homebrew</summary>
...
</details>
@MayorFaj, sorry for the delay on this.
I've asked a clarifying question about the homebrew formula implementation here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/218501#discussion_r2077819496
@MayorFaj gentle nudge on ^
Hi, I missed that @williammartin I will have a look.
